The Center for Energy Studies is a pioneer in areas such as short-term wind power forecasting that are becoming of major importance nowadays as installed wind capacity increases. Our vision is to assist wind energy industry in achieving its targets for large-scale wind integration and higher competitiveness in the marketplace.
The research axes focus on :
- the evaluation of the onshore and offshore potential,
- the optimal integration of wind energy in interconnected or autonomous power systems,
- he development of tools & methods for increasing competitiveness of wind energy in electricity markets.
Research work is developed on the following subjects:
- Short-term prediction of the power output of wind farms.
- Strategies for the optimal integration of wind production in a liberalized market.
- Management of power systems with high penetration from renewables.
- Developpement of a Wind Atlas for France.
- Evaluation of the onshore and offshore potential (via satellite images),
- Evaluation of the impact of large-scale integration of wind energy (capacity credit, reserves, storage etc).
- Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for planning renewable energies.
- Dimensionning of wind-diesel power systems.
- Dynamic (transient) modelling of power systems including ENR and distributed generation.
- Fast dynamic security assessment of power systems with high wind penetration.
- etc.
