The session will discuss the technical challenges of
integrating wind to the power grid. The session will focus on
system-wide policy, regulatory and operational challenges to achieve
larger levels of wind penetration and on the transmission investment
challenges for wind interconnection. The topics are of relevance for
both developing countries that already have some level of wind
integration and would like to speed up efforts to achieve large levels
of penetration, as well as for developing countries already pursuing
wind development and its where its integration has been challenged by
transmission interconnection aspects both in terms of the transmission
investment needs and the technical interconnection requirements.
