TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the need for technical know-how transfer, new replicable business models, credit for rural households and entrepreneurs, regulatory frameworks and financing for private power developers, market facilitation organizations, donor assistance aimed at expanding sustainable markets, smart...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed international experience with curtailment of wind and solar energy on bulk power systems in recent years, with a focus on eleven countries in Europe, North America, and Asia.

TL;DR: The Western Wind and Solar Integration Study (WWSIS) as mentioned in this paper is one of the world's largest regional integration studies to date, covering over 4 million square kilometers with a spatial resolution of approximately two-kilometers over a period of three years with a temporal resolution of 10 minutes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a high-level international comparison of methods and key results from both operating practice and integration analysis, based on the work in International Energy Agency IEA WIND Task 25 on Large-scale Wind Integration.

TL;DR: The authors examines how wind and solar integration studies have evolved, what analysis techniques work, what common mistakes are still made, and what and why calculating integration costs is such a difficult problem that should be undertaken carefully, if at all Examples of integration costs for other generation technologies are examined to help illuminate underlying cost causation principles.
