Aug 27, 2007 Wind blows out other renewables

Blogging the Smart Grid Current Comments (2) Leave a Comment Draging their feet Why do we need to build giant wind farms? "Micro," or small-scale, turbines that fit on top of buildings is where it is at. Steve Miller - 09/01/2007 - 08:13 The real value of wind?? Installing more wind is great, but I'm concerned that we are doing it without understanding the full consequences it has on operating the power grid. Europeans are far ahead of us in the percentage of wind they generate and deliver to customers, but they are also much further ahead in understanding its impact on operations and in creating new control models that fully accommodate it's characteristics, which are very different from traditional generators. We need T&D systems that are much more sophisticated in their operation to absorb the real value of wind and other renewable energy systems.
