Dynamic Voltage Control Stabilizes Wind-generated Electricity to the Grid

摘要

According To The American Wind Energy Association, by the end of 2001, an additional 2000 MW of wind power will be added in the U.S. This new capacity includes four new wind farms of 200 MW or more being installed in Texas, California and the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately, wind is an intermittent resource and as a result voltage fluctuations can occur. A sudden gust of wind can course momentary dips in voltage.
