Papers should present wind power as an element of the National Power System, describing the penetration levels affecting particular elements and grid organization. Examples of other countries, describing the phenomena and implemented solutions allowing for smooth integration of certain amounts of wind power with the power system are desired. Descriptions of detailed cases and general discussion are welcome. The panel is primarily to discuss the technical and organizational issues, with particular emphasis to the security and quality of energy supply to final consumers. Furthermore, papers discussing legal and economic aspects that should be implemented in Poland to intensify wind power development are desired. The abstracts should discuss the mutual relations and determinants between wind farm management and grid constraints. Analysis of distribution companies’ and Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne Operator S.A.’s development plan in terms of compliance thereof and legitimacy of RES connection is also important. Below we present only some potential subjects that may be developed and proposed during the Call for Abstracts:

The main area of interest of the The Energy Law panel should be the analysis of effects of implementation of essential changes stemming from the Law’s amendment. It is particularly interesting to discuss if the implemented changes are advantageous to developing expert opinion on the grid effects of wind power, or what is the effect of the advance payment paid upon application for issuance of the technical connection conditions on the connection of a wind farm. Abstracts containing analysis of existing provisions applicable to wind farms during the commissioning period, together with proposals of amendments to more advantageous for the investor and the requirements laid down by the EU Directive would be attractive. Below we present only some potential subjects that may be developed and proposed during the Call for Abstracts:

The “Grid Connection” panel is to present various aspects of the current framework for connecting wind power sources to the grid. It would be interesting to receive an abstract analysing the progress of works on streamlining the system for issuing connection conditions and interconnection agreements. Other papers should clearly answer the question if the amendment of the Energy Law implemented any fundamental changes solving the problems stemming from connecting generating units to the grid – or the amendments are superficial only? Below we present only some potential subjects that may be developed and proposed during the Call for Abstracts:

The papers should present possible wind turbines’ impact on the power grid insofar as grid safety, security of energy supply, energy quality, and discuss how to mitigate its effects. It would be interesting to present an example of an EU Member State where wind power is highly developed and its methods for dealing with grid integration of wind power. New technologies optimising power grid design and management with high wind power penetration levels are also important. Proposed issues and subjects:
