May 1st, 2010


Priority Action Plan 16: Wind Plant Communications NEW

Description: Gather use cases and requirements from wind industry stakeholders with a focus on those requirements associated with integrating bulk wind assets into wind plant operation and utility command and control systems

Perspective: While an international standard for wind power plant communications interoperability exists, few if any developers orutilities have implemented it in the US. Given that 1.5 billion dollars in ARRA funds have been awarded to wind plant projects, it is critical to accelerate the adoption of this standard to ensure those funds do not end up going to systems that are not interoperable which eventually results in stranded assets and less market competition.
