Western Wind and Solar Integration Study
TL;DR: The Western Wind and Solar Integration Study (WWSIS) as discussed by the authors is one of the largest regional wind and solar integration studies to date, which examines the operational impact of up to 35% energy penetration of wind, photovoltaics (PV), and concentrating solar power (CSP) on the power system operated by the WestConnect group of utilities in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming (see study area map).

Intra-area master reactive controller for tightly coupled windfarms
TL;DR: In this paper, a wind turbine generator control system is provided for controlling output of a plurality of tightly-coupled windfarms connected at a point of common 25 coupling with a power system grid 30.
Journal ArticleDOI

Michael Milligan,Bethany Frew,Brendan Kirby,Matt Schuerger,Kara Clark,Debbie Lew,Paul Denholm,Bob Zavadil,Mark O'Malley,Bruce Tsuchida +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, no longer alternative energy sources, have grown rapidly in the United States and worldwide during the last decade, due to significantly improved technology (power electronics, controls, and physical attributes such as tower heights and blades).
ReportDOI
On the Path to SunShot. Emerging Issues and Challenges in Integrating High Levels of Solar into the Electrical Generation and Transmission System
How do Wind and Solar Power Affect Grid Operations: The Western Wind and Solar Integration Study; Preprint
TL;DR: In this article, the scope of the Western Wind and Solar Integration Study, the development of wind and solar datasets, and the results to date on three scenarios are reviewed and compared.
