Integration Technology Assessment and Support


Though wind turbine systems continue to improve, the success of wind energy in the marketplace increasingly depends on the ability to integrate wind effectively into the existing power grid and address the barriers associated with large scale deployment. In order to address some of these challenges, Sandia supports several research activities aimed at determining and mitigating the effect of wind turbines on civilian and military radar systems, and providing the analysis necessary for successful wind integration. Sandia will continue to provide support to the wind integration analysis effort by collaborating with the appropriate utility/grid operators and relevant stakeholders. Sandia is actively participating in DOE's Transformational Energy Action Management (TEAM) initiative through the analysis of an on-sight 30 MW wind farm that would tie into the Sandia distribution network and be utilized by both Sandia and Kirtland Air Force Base.
