| Abstract | Spain has successfully integrated a large penetration of renewable resources into its power system. Spain has 93.3 GW of generating capacity to supply 266,486 MWh (2008) with a peak summer demand of 41.1 GW (2010) and winter demand of 44.4 GW (2009). As of May 2010, 20.2 % of Spain’s generating capacity is wind, supplying 13.7 % of electric power production in 2009, and reaching levels greater than 40 % in one day (e.g., 52 % early on Sunday, November 8, 2009). As such, Spain is often referred to as a world leader in the successful integration of wind. In fact, Spain ranks fourth in the world in wind generating capacity with 19.2 GW (2009). With regard to solar power generation, as of May 2010, Spain has 3.6 GW of solar power generation capacity, supplying 2% of its overall 2009 electric energy needs. It was with this in mind that the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) arranged visits to Spain to develop an understanding of |
