Report 2023 Switzerland
This project has focused on showing the value of wind energy by study-ing the correlation of wind patterns between Swiss regions. The findings of the project demonstrate there is a wide range of
Comprehensive overview of grid interfaced wind energy generation
More than 200 research publications on the topic of grid interfaced wind power generation systems have been critically examined, classified and listed for quick reference. This review is ready
Control and Operation of Grid-Connected Wind Energy Systems
This edited book analyses and discusses the current issues of integration of wind energy systems in the power systems. It collects recent studies in the area, focusing on numerous issues including
Switzerland Sets New Wind Power Generation Record in 2024
Swiss wind farms generated 160 million kilowatt hours of electricity in 2024, powering equivalent of 150,000 households, marking significant renewable energy milestone.
Energy research and development at Swissgrid
The goal of the project is to balance short-term fluctuations in the transmission grid with the support of small decentralised energy sources, such as energy storage systems, electric cars, battery storage
Wind and solar energy: a renewable future for Switzerland
Under Energy Strategy 2050, the Swiss electricity mix should be shaped by renewable energies such as wind and solar energy. But what happens when demand is high and the weather isn''t playing ball?

The federal government adopted feed-in tariffs to offer a cost-based compensation to renewable energy producers. The feed-in remuneration at cost (KEV, German: Kostendeckende Einspeisevergütung, French: Rétribution à prix coûtant du courant injecté, Italian: Rimunerazione a copertura dei costi per l''immissione in rete di energia elettrica) is the primary instrument for promoting the deployment of power systems using renewable energy sources.
The role of the electric grid in Switzerland''s energy future
Switzerland currently relies on hydro and nuclear power to meet the bulk of its energy demand. However, it''s unlikely that a reduction in expected energy consumption and a buildup of
The Electric Power System
There is no bilateral electricity agreement with Europe, so Switzerland''s participation is not possible.
Grid development projects up to 2040
Decentralised utility power generation is growing due to the construction of new photovoltaic and wind power plants in Switzerland and Europe. Electricity generation is becoming
Electricity sector in Switzerland
The contribution of wind power to Switzerland''s electricity supply remains modest compared to other renewables. By 2022, a total of around 87 MW of large-scale wind power capacity was in operation,
