The objective of Task 25 is to analyse and further develop the methodology to assess the impact of wind power on power systems. The Task has established an international forum for exchange of knowledge and experiences related to power system operation with large amounts of wind power and has actively followed parallel activities with Transmission System Operators other R&D Task work. The participants have collected and shared information on the experience gained and the studies made up to and during the task. The case studies have addressed different aspects of power system operation and design, mainly: balancing,
grid impacts and capacity credit of wind power.

Results
IEA Wind Task 25 started with producing a state-of-the-art report on the knowledge and results that have been gathered so far, published in the VTT Working Papers series in 2007. Summary reports of the two previous phases have also been published as VTT reports: 2009 (VTT Research Notes 2493) and 2013 (VTT Technology T75). Currently, the final summary report for the phase 3, 2012-2014 is under preparation and will include all the DTU results. In these reports, a summary of selected, recently finished studies was presented. The Task 25 has developed guidelines on the recommended methodologies when estimating the system
impacts and the costs of wind power integration, published in 2013 as RP16 of IEA Wind. All these reports are available in the Task 25 web site http://www.ieawind.org/task_25.html#
