Spain - 7th International Workshop on Large-Scale Integration of Wind Power into Power Systems as well as on Transmission Networks for Offshore Wind Farms
Welcome to Madrid!
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 7th International Workshop on Large-Scale Integration of Wind Power into Power Systems as well as on Transmission Networks for Offshore Wind Farms.
The workshop will be held in Madrid, Spain, on 26-27 May, 2008.
It is accompanied by the Second Workshop on Best Practice in the Use of Short-term Forecasting of Wind Power on May 28.
Even this year's workshop will include a field trip during which we will visit a wind farm control centre on May 28, 2008.
In its seventh edition, this event is now one of the premier conferences in its field. During two days, the workshop will provide an excellent platform for exchanging knowledge and ideas and sharing experiences around wind energy. Presentations are held by invited speakers from companies and leading research institutes as well as workshop participants (call for papers). The workshop provides an international forum to:
- discuss technical and economic issues of the large-scale integration of wind power including the recent advances in transmission technologies (AC and DC);
- discuss project experiences;
- discuss innovative ideas and present results from ongoing research;
- stimulate interdisciplinary thinking between wind energy and power transmission industries, as well as universities;
- identify subjects requiring more research efforts.
A major goal is to maintain the platform developed in recent years for discussing and sharing ideas and knowledge regarding the key issues. An important part of the workshop will be devoted to in-depth discussions and brainstorming.
