2020
The 19th Wind Integration Workshop International Workshop on Large-Scale Integration of Wind Power into Power Systems was in the Corona year 2020 and held online from the 11th -12th of November. The IEA Wind Task 36 had a special session, introducing the task and providing an update and news on the projects within the task. The main contributions dealt with the validation of NWP model improvements, wind power forecasting data definitions and standards, a summary and provision of evaluation examples from the recommended practices guidelines on forecast solutions election, and a summary of the first experiment of the wind power forecasting experiment and games initiative. See publications in form of presentations and papers here.
