Programme
Power of wind: 5 important steps to integrate wind energy in the grid and ensure the value of wind
The purpose of the grid seminar is to give insights in the important steps to efficiently integrate wind energy in the grid going from 0 – 25 pct. wind penetration and how to exploit the value of wind from the beginning.
Participants: Stakeholders from emerging and growth markets, such as public authorities, DSO’s, TSO’s, utilities, developers, manufacturers of wind turbines and grid technology.
The seminar will start with a plenum presentation that highlights 5 important steps from the first wind turbines to above 15 pct. wind penetration.
The plenum session will be followed by 2 rounds of workshops, where each of the steps will be elaborated on individually. The two rounds of workshops will be identical giving the participants the possibility to go in to depth with 2 of the 5 subjects.
The 5 workshop groups will each be led by 2 or 3 experts.
The workshop session will be wrapped up through a process, where the experts will collect the essential conclusions from the workshops in a checklist. The checklist will be finalized and distributed to the participants at the end of seminar.
The seminar will be finished with a panel debate focusing on how to reach 25 pct. wind penetration in less than a decade based on handling the 5 important steps in an efficient manner.
