This case study largely focuses on the challenge of bringing significant amounts of intermittent generating sources into grids dominated by large central generating units. It provides a brief overview of the growth of wind power, mainly since 1990, the technical and operational issues related to integration, and selected collaborative programmes underway to address grid integration concerns. It does not cover the many other areas of wind research collaboration, e.g., turbine developments or rotor aerodynamics, nor the history of international collaborative R&D in bringing wind technology to its current point in the commercialisation process.

This page provides an alphabetical listing of frequently-requested variables that link to freely-available, ready-made Excel spreadsheets containing those variables, and to the priced databases or publications on SourceOECD in which the listed variable may be found. Generally speaking, the databases or publications contain a much larger range of related data than can be found in the spreadsheets.
