Wind Generation Interconnection Wickets and Thickets…Navigation Options - (PPT)

摘要

Geographic concentration of requests with inadequate transmission …. resulting in upgrade costs that make projects unviable. Requests drop from the queue and require new study assumptions & re-running analysis …. causing delays, changing cost estimates, and cost allocations. Transmission study assumptions that do not account for modern wind generation design capabilities …. can result in very costly and un-necessary required upgrades. Inadequate interconnection policy coordination between FERC and State jurisdictional utilities.
