Grant agreement ID: 20158

Project closed

Start date 1 October 2006

End date 30 September 2009

Funded under

• Sustainable Development, Global Change and Ecosystems: thematic priority 6 under the Focusing and Integrating Community Research programme 2002-2006.

Total cost € 1 858 666,00

EU contribution € 1 166 770,00

Coordinated by

UNIVERSITAET DUISBURG-ESSEN

Objective

The project has the following objectives:
- Demonstrate the applicability of decision support tools based on stochastic analysis and programming for operational management of grids and power plants
- Demonstrate the applicability of strategic analysis tools for decision support for long-term management of grids
- Detailed analysis of improved coordination mechanisms between grid operators, power plant operators, power exchanges etc.

Based on the planning tool developed in the WILMAR project, a set of tools is developed which support Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and other stakeholders in their operational and strategic decision making related to the integration of high shares of wind or other fluctuating renewables. More specifically the evaluation of regional and trans-national transmission line investments caused by large scale introduction of wind power will be analysed in detail.
