Transmission and Renewables Enabling DG, Competition and Ancillary Services Mike Jacobs AWEA
Transmission provides what renewable generation needs • Integration of Renewable technology • Access to ancillary services
DG Integration parallels Wind Integration • System integration needs similar for DG and Wind • Installations at speed of the market • Output less than perfectly scheduled • Technologies not all the same as synchronous fossil fuel generation
In the future: • Wind and DG will be a large share of the supply. • Significant retirements will change system operations. • Transmission will provide access to competitive sources of ancillary services and reserves.
