TRADING WIND POWER AT THE NORDIC POWER POOL

The official Danish energy plan ''Energy 21'' calls for a very high pe netration of wind energy in the electricity sector. This will put issu es of fitting a variable energy source into a stable supply system in focus. The present study investigates the role that collaboration with the hydro-based Scandinavian countries can offer, and particularly lo oks at the conditions of the Nordic power pool, asking whether it will be possible profitably to trade wind power in such a pool system.
