Integration of wind power — Challenges and options for market integration and its impact on future cross-sectorial use

The decarbonisation of the economy calls for an increase in demand from renewable power supply, that in many countries has to be provided by variable renewable energy source (vRES) like wind and solar. In this article, we will give an outlook on how system friendly wind turbines can contribute to mitigate this challenge today and improve future cross-sectorial use. Therefore we use various time series data to model the market value of wind turbines and provide scenarios for the German power system in 2035 to assess the potential of system friendly wind energy.
