Reactive power..... disconnect those turbines from the generator and let the generator (Copper coil) spin at grid frequency and it'll supply reactive power and absorb fluctuations,(reply>), @Robert Hurley I was talking about the generators inside wind turbines. Of course, you can directly connect the generator to the power grid and supply reactive power (if it's a synchronous generator), but most wind turbine generators are connected via a power cpnverter to the grid, which decouples the rotational speed from the grid frequency. You don't even need a generator to supply reactive power in the case of a power converter, just a sufficiently big capacitor or battery (this would be a STATCOM).,(reply>), @đeri662 synchronous condenser.... similar to what the AES plant in Huntington beach...,(reply>), It depends on which kind of a generator (and power converter) is used. Older WT used induction generators without a converter, which only absorb reactive power and cannot produce it. If synchronous generator is used instead, then you can control the reactive power through excitation. Modern WT are connected via a power converter and are therefore much more flexible.
