[Introduction]
The Ministry of Economic Development (MED) and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) are collaborating on a project to investigate the extent to which wind-generated electricity can be integrated into New Zealand's electricity supply system. The wind integration study was commissioned as the first phase of the overall project.
This paper is a brief non-technical summary of this first wind integration report, which is available from either MED or EECA.
The study complements the significant work being done by the Electricity Commission (EC) in conjunction with the System Operator (SO) which is focussed on ensuring ongoing effective market operations and system security with increasing levels of wind integration.
