The Pan-Canadian Wind Integration Study (PCWIS) was prepared by GE Energy Consulting and co-funded by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) through the ecoEnergy Innovation Initiative (ecoEII) and the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), with in kind support from each organization.
GE Energy Consulting has done several studies which have helped Hawaii utilities, regulators, and other stakeholders in recognizing the technical and operational challenges of integrating high penetrations of wind and solar on the island systems of Hawaii. Their unique expertise in analytics and modeling, coupled with their technical understanding of Hawaii’s electric systems have made these studies a success.
