This research paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the impact of wind power implementation on the transmission system. The transmission reinforcement projects serve several purposes at the same time. The use of renewable energy sources, such as wind power, has become increasingly popular due to environmental concerns and energy security issues. However, integrating wind. . ACP analyzed the PJM system under two scenarios—one with all resources available and another with no new clean energy projects beyond those already underway or mandated. Without new clean energy development, t he average residential household would see $3,000 to $8,500 in additional electricity. . Thousands of MW of new clean resources will need to be built to achieve state decarbonization goals—including substantial offshore wind beyond the 30,000 MW of current commitments.
