Distributed wind is a type of wind energy technology that is developed as a distributed energy resource to contribute maximum societal, economic, and power system benefits. The Wind Energy Technologies Office's (WETO) distributed wind research program is advancing this technology.
PNNL's distributed wind research, funded by the Department of Energy's Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), supports WETO's goal of advancing wind energy technology as a distributed energy resource to contribute maximum societal, economic and power system benefits.
Distributed wind energy has the potential to diversify local energy sources to help provide clean renewable energy in your community. Click on the interactive animation or read a text version of the use cases.
WETO's research on distributed wind systems integration seeks to develop and validate wind technology as a plug-and-play resource with solar, storage, and other distributed energy resources to support grid system reliability and enhanced power system resilience.
To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel assessment model for DWGHC that considers the spatial correlations between distributed generation (DG) outputs.
