Wind Power - The Fastest-Growing Renewable Generation Technology

Antony Johnson, National Grid 

Thursday 25 October 2007 at 19:30

Palmer Building, The University of Reading 

Light refreshments available from 19:00-19:30 

This presentation will look at the development of wind generation and
the issues that need to be addressed in connecting such plant to the
National Grid Transmission  System. The presentation will start with a
quick resume of conventional synchronous generation and then move on
to the  fundamentals, technology and development of wind  turbines.

With the technology fully explained, the presentation will explore the
issues of connecting such generation to the National Grid.

If time permits, the presentation will investigate the difficulties of
predicting the likely future power output of wind farms and the system
issues that this uncertainty can raise.

If you want to know more, come along. All are welcome and no ticket is
required. Simply turn up on the night. For more details please contact
Dr Richard Mitchell at rjmitchell at theiet.org, or 0118 378 6790.

Directions: Enter the University at the main entrance from the A327
Shinfield Road. Follow the road until until it bends right, when you
turn left and almost immediately  right. Go straight on when the road
goes to the left and park adjacent to the Palmer  Building, no 26, on
