Wind Energy Institute of Canada located in North Cape, Prince Edward Island, has been testing wind turbines since 1981. The Wind Energy Institute of Canada advances the development of wind energy across Canada through research, testing, innovation and collaboration. The Wind Energy Institute of Canada in PEI recognized the need to further explore energy storage technologies, and provide installation and operational information to system operators, utilities and other stakeholders. The project “Wind Park and Storage System for Innovation in Grid Integration”, led by the Institute in 2013, was awarded $12M from the Clean Energy Fund.
