European wind integration study( EWIS) for a successful integration of wind power into European transmission system

The development of wind energy is crucially important to meeting Europepsilas renewable energy targets. Given the variable nature and distributed location of this generation, the services provided by the interconnected European transmission networks are essential to harnessing this energy source efficiently and economically. To meet this need, Europepsilas transmission system operators (TSOs) have identified a number of challenges in developing and operating their networks while maintaining reliable and secure supplies. To provide a coordinated and harmonized approach, the TSOs have proposed and initiated a Europe-wide detailed study concerning the integration of wind energy in the transmission network. The study will examine potential reinforcements of network pinch points, improved operating procedures, linkages with markets arrangements and the technical and connection requirements for wind generators.
