Abstract :
A capacity of installed wind power of 40 GW in Europe, control areas with a wind power production exceeding the maximum load-these are serious plans that may come true in several years. Due to the high fluctuations and the limited predictability of wind power, this development will cause a severe change in the demands on the power reserve. Therefore, this paper introduces an investigation that quantifies the technical consequences of the increasing wind power in Europe on the primary, secondary, and long-term reserve
