Abstract :
This article summarizes some of the key lessons. We first describe a set of "universal truths" that are generally applicable to all power grids seeking to integrate more wind energy. We then provide a few specific examples, emphasiz ing the unique perspectives and experiences of systems in Europe, China, and North America.
