As the wind power technologies evolve from one to another breakthrough and the wind power plants continue its ever increasing penetration in the power system it is a matter of time when the wind power production will be comparable to or even larger than the conventional power generation. In this paper the growth and advances of the wind power industry are described. Relevant aspects related to large-scale integration of wind power into the power system are discussed as the challenges arising from market liberalization, electricity networks innovation, the limited predictability of wind and the voltage and frequency control capabilities.
