The aim with this project is to develop demonstration projects that will make it possible to overcome several obstacles regarding a larger integration of wind power, and its contribution to the operation of the power system. A group of 6 Transmission System Operators (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Spain) with 2 generator companies, 5 manufacturers and research organisations, have proposed a set of 6 demonstrations in several areas.
The IIT is involved in different work packages of the project in three areas of activity: technological, economic and regulatory. One task is to support Iberdrola Renovables, responsible for the demonstration which will be checked frequently-active and reactive voltage-aggregation of wind farms. In addition, the IIT will lead the work package which will evaluate what is the technical-economic impact of the June demonstrations on the various countries, there will be a cross-sectional analysis of all of them to maximize European added value of the project, identify barriers that prevent scaling the results of the demonstrations, and propose solutions to eliminate these barriers, such as new rules for the regulation of electricity markets.
