This course is intended to provide the necessary background for engineers and researchers on the interconnection and integration of wind generation power plants into electric utility systems. It is also geared towards experts already working in this area, as there will be an opportunity to exchange knowledge and discuss experiences from around the globe. Experts from the United States and Europe will provide state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise on the application of power system engineering methods to address the incorporation of wind power plants into electric power systems.

In addition, the European instructors will provide insights on dealing with high wind power penetration levels in European networks — for example, average wind power penetration levels of 20-30 % with peak penetration levels of up to 100%.
