Grid Support And Ancillary Services Forum 2014

Grid Support And Ancillary Services Forum 2014 is a conference dedicated to the acceptability of wind into European power grids, including:

• Ancillary services to SONI and Eirgrid and a view of where regulations are heading
• The viability of offering ancillary services in its areas of operation in Europe
• How will grid compliance and ancillary services shape the future of turbine and substation design and their control?
• Grid operators` requirements from wind developers
• The latest pilot projects and research about which ancillary services wind farms can offer, technical risks and the economics involved
• How wind providing active power control can improve the frequency response performance of the system
• The technologies and estimated costs involved in offering capabilities such as frequency response, reactive power and voltage control, including
  • Substation infrastructure
  • Power electronics
  • Automation and control systems
  • Turbine design
• The different grid balancing/ancillary services wind farms can offer to Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and/or Distribution Network Operators (DNOs)
