Abstract
This chapter looks at considerations for high penetration wind systems. Power systems supplying the majority of energy demand with wind generation will need to shift from a paradigm in which generators generally respond to the dictates of demand, to systems where demand is adjusted to accommodate changes in wind generation. Such systems will make greater use of available storage, primarily in the form of thermal energy, in existing infrastructures such as buildings, water heaters, municipal water pumping systems, and district heating systems where available. Although demand is controlled by the utilities to some extent, the effects of this control will be almost entirely undetectable by end users. Aggregating wind-forecasting services into regional entities is likely also necessary to facilitate the efficient use of wind generation necessary to achieving high penetration levels. Costs associated with data gathering and processing are most manageable as shared across entities benefiting from the services, and especially ensuring that data gathering and processing efforts are not unnecessarily duplicated in specific regions.
