Transmission planning<br />

There is high concentration of wind power in windy areas,<br />

where the load is usually low, so there is a need for strong<br />

transmission grid. However, because of the rapid<br />

implementation of wind power, the reinforcement of the grid<br />

has not been planned.<br />

In most areas of the world with deregulated power markets,<br />

existing transmission planning practices do not look ahead<br />

towards expanding the transmission grid to serve high wind<br />

resources.<br />

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) introduced<br />

economic transmission planning, which is planning to build<br />

transmission to reduce congestion and not just for reliability<br />

purposes. Economic transmission planning represents an<br />

opportunity to access remote wind resources.<br />
