Renewable Plants in Energy Systems

Our ambition is to improve the integration of wind power in energy systems and markets. Renewable Plants in Energy Systems will provide research and develop solutions on local to continental scales and on time scales from milliseconds to decades, working towards 100% renewable power and energy systems.

The Renewable Plants in Energy Systems section uses the electrical, control, and power and energy system knowledge for: Variable and Renewable Energy (VRE) system integration; wind power modelling; grid connection and offshore transmission systems; design, operation and control of wind and hybrid power plants; operation and control of power systems with high shares of converter-based generation; variability & uncertainty of VRE generation; and wind power forecasting.
