China’s State Grid Energy Research Institute (SGERI) and Vestas China have announced plans to cooperate on developing techniques to overcome the difficulties of large-scale integration of wind power to the grid by applying an integrated solution encompassing technology, management and policy. The details of the cooperation are laid out in a book they have jointly published: “Integrated Solution Strategies for Coordinated Wind Power and Grid Development.”

The joint research indicates:

• It is necessary to include the technological, managerial and policy aspects into an integrated solution to overcome the difficulties of large scale integration of wind power to the grid.
• The current development of wind power and the power grid provide a solid foundation for solving the technical barriers for large-scale wind power integration to the grid.
• Currently, the key to large-scale wind power integration lies in building grid-friendly wind power plants and a wind power friendly power system whereby the flexibility of the entire system will be improved.
