In the evolving energy landscape, transmission systems are critical for supporting renewable generation. Mike Jacobs of AWEA outlines how integrating distributed generation (DG) with wind energy can leverage similar approaches. As we face significant changes in system operations and the retirement of conventional generation sources, effective transmission will enhance access to competitive ancillary services. Rapid installation and innovative technologies are essential for accommodating renewable output variability while ensuring system reliability.

Transmission and Renewables Enabling DG, Competition and Ancillary Services Mike Jacobs AWEA
Transmission provides what renewable generation needs • Integration of Renewable technology • Access to ancillary services
DG Integration parallels Wind Integration • System integration needs similar for DG and Wind • Installations at speed of the market • Output less than perfectly scheduled • Technologies not all the same as synchronous fossil fuel generation
In the future: • Wind and DG will be a large share of the supply. • Significant retirements will change system operations. • Transmission will provide access to competitive sources of ancillary services and reserves.
