Final Report and Supporting Documents for Task 24  (follow this link)

The IEA Wind Implementing Agreement (Wind IA) and the Hydropower Implementing Agreement (Hydro IA) both have initiated annexes analyzing the potential for integrating wind and hydropower systems. The primary purposes of these annexes are to conduct cooperative research concerning the generation, transmission, and economics of integrating wind and hydropower systems, to understand the related social and environmental issues, and to consider simulated water resource, reservoir and wind forecasting.

Participants from both annexes have come together in joint meetings to discuss the collaboration between the annexes, research methods, case studies, and results. In the spirit of cooperation between the two annexes, participants presented updates from ongoing case studies related to wind and hydropower integration, including research methods, assumptions, and results.
