- Additional information
- Curtailment of wind energy is wasteful but can be necessary to maintain a stable power grid. This paper shows the additional value of a detailed analysis that extends to power grid node level executed on a real transmission system. The result is the identification of individual transmission nodes that will require upgrade to minimise the down time of wind energy, thereby informing transmission planning. This work is of interest to Transmission and Distribution System Operators.
