Abstract

This paper analyses the status of integrating renewable electricity into the grids in Europe where progress, developments and proposals in some European countries are critically analysed, discussed and reviewed. It analyses the German experience of grid integration of renewable energy sources (RES); considers status, prospects and problems of integrating renewable electricity production in Greece; discusses options that are available for large-scale integration of wind power into grids; reviews technical and commercial impacts of the integration of wind power in the Portuguese system having due regard to the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL); and analyses the integration of wind generation into the Irish System.
