- Transmission Planning for Wind Energy: Status and ProspectsPublication . Smith, J. Charles; Osborn, Dale; Zavaldi, Robert; Lasher, Warren; Gómez-Lázaro, E.; Trotscher, Thomas; Tande, John; Korpås, Magnus; Hulle, Frans Van; Estanqueiro, Ana; Dale, Lewis; Holttinen, HanneleThis paper provides an overview of major transmission planning activities related to wind integration studies in the US and Europe. Transmission planning for energy resources is different from planning for capacity resources. Those differences are explained, and illustrated with examples from several regions of the US and Europe. Transmission planning for wind is becoming an interative process consisting of generation expansion planning, economic-based transmission planning, system reliability analysis, and wind integration studies. A brief look at the policy environment in which this activity is taking place is provided.
