Recommended practices for wind and solar integration studies

IEA TCP WIND Task 25 ”Design and Operation of Energy Systems with Large Amounts of Variable Generation” has compiled Recommended Practices for power system impact studies, commonly known as wind and solar integration studies. It provides research institutes, consultants, and system operators with the best available information on how to perform an integration study. It is also useful in benchmarking any integration studies: the recommendations check list can be used to identify what has and has not been taken into account. The latest update, to Edition 3, includes recommendations for very high wind and solar shares – wind and solar dominated power systems, with sector coupling and energy system integration.
