This terminology document provides terms and definitions in the subject area of grid integration
of renewable energy generation. The technical issues of grid integration mainly focus on the
issues caused by renewable energy generation with variable sources and/or converter based
technology, such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation. Some renewable energy
generations such as hydro power and biomass power with a relatively continuously available
primary energy source and a rotating generator are conventional sources of generation, and
are therefore not covered in this document.
The intention of this document is to answer the question "what do the words mean" and not
"under what conditions do the terms apply".All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
