Summary

This Annex facilitates an international collaboration organised under the International Energy Agency (IEA) Implementing Agreement for Co-operation in the Research and Development of Wind Turbine Systems.

The overall objective of the Annex is to assist the planning and design of wind farms by facilitating a coordinated effort to develop wind farm models suitable for use in combination with software packages for simulation and analysis of power system stability.

The Annex was started in 2002 and will run through 2005. It is carried out on a cost- and task-shared basis. The participants contribute with financial support to the Operating Agent and carry out activities, supply information and join meetings as required to meet the Annex objectives.

Access to detailed reports and database is restricted to the Annex participants.

Operation of the Annex is extended to end 2006.
