Researchers from Skoltech, Shandong University, and ORE Catapult have proposed a way to stabilize wind farms under overvoltage conditions, when imbalances in the power grid causing voltage swells can temporarily knock out wind turbines. The team describes how precisely calibrated reactive current injections may enable may enable continuous clean power generation in spite of brief voltage swells in the system. […]
