Big, Fast, and Flexible: Grid Operations for Efficient Variable Renewable IntegrationA growing body of research and operational experience highlights the value of large balancing areas and fast system operations to cost-effectively integrating high penetrations of wind and solar on the grid. This webinar provides an overview of the "big and fast" concept for efficient integration of variable renewables to the grid. Following a brief introduction to the basics of power system operations and power system flexibility, the webinar presents various methods and examples of pathways for moving towards larger balancing areas and faster dispatch under different institutional contexts. https://www.greeningthegrid.org/Grid-Integration-Toolkit/trainings-1/webinars/copy_of_facilitating-the-integration-of-renewable-energy-through-balancing-area-cooperationhttps://www.greeningthegrid.org/Grid-Integration-Toolkit/trainings-1/webinars/copy_of_facilitating-the-integration-of-renewable-energy-through-balancing-area-cooperation/@@download/image/Untitled picture.png
