Testing Active Power Control from Wind Power at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) (Presentation): NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)

Building Technologies and Science Center

Research output: NREL › Presentation

Abstract

In order to keep the electricity grid stable and the lights on, the power system relies on certain responses from its generating fleet. This presentation evaluates the potential for wind turbines and wind power plants to provide these services and assist the grid during critical times.
