EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE IN CONNECTION WITH THE INTEGRATION OF ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY WIND POWER PLANTS INTO ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS

Abstract

The article presents European experiences regarding the use of wind power in electricity production. Emphasis is placed upon the signifi cance of optimizing, strengthening and expanding an existing electrical grid, as well as the construction of modern grids for the rapid and effi cient integration of renewable energy sources. The goal of the article is to draw attention to the importance and complexity of this topic by utilizing the fi ndings of numerous research studies on the integration of electricity from wind power plants into the electrical power systems of individual countries.
