Co-sponsored by CSEP and U.S. DOE, a large-scale China-U.S. Renewable Energy Grid Integration Workshop was held in Beijing on Dec 7 and 8, 2010. This workshop was initiated by CSEP and BPN experts and organized by the China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI) in cooperation with the NREL. More than 200 participants from research institutions, government departments, generation companies, grid companies, and RE manufacturers attended the workshop. U.S. experts shared the methodologies and results of U.S. RE integration and transmission studies, introduced management measures and technical solutions for resolving the integration problem, including large balancing areas, transmission planning, wind forecasting, grid codes, energy storage, coal plant flexibility, etc. The workshop facilitated in-depth discussions on RE grid integration issues between experts and practitioners of the two countries and helped inform future directions of China's RE integration studies.

PPTs of the presentations given by the experts, listed below, are available on the Energy Foundation website:
