� Wind, solar, and hydrorequire firm back-up
� Volatile power outputdisrupts power quality
� Geothermal resources difficult to manage

Wind Energy Issues � As-available resource; needs back up
� Regulating units are worked harder to maintainsystem stability
� Ride through for faults and frequency excursions
� Excess wind energy leads to curtailments
� Energy storage could firm resource but is costly
� WTG’s are tallest structure on the view plane

Increased Wind Energy on HELCO System
� HELCO Goal Æ Add wind energy to the HELCO power grid, and preserve Power Quality and Reliability
� Potential system impacts � Increased capacity of as-available power � Increased duty on regulating units � Need additional operating reserve
� Further curtailment of wind generation
