The objective of this project is to undertake an integration study to evaluate high wind energy penetration on a national basis for system operators to have better understanding of challenges, opportunities, as well as mitigation measure and operational tools needed to efficiently integrate wind energy in Canada. This will be accomplished by executing and implementing an integration study approach, which involves matching the time series of modelled wind production data with load data, and evaluating how this influences other system components, including existing and future sources of supply, and existing and future transmission infrastructure.
