Re: Grid stability (none / 0)
No power engineer, so can't adequately address most issues, except:

  •  Capacitor banks have often been added to grid interconnection points for reactive power.

  •  european grid engineers and their bosses fought against wind for decades, even into this century, based upon such technical issues. Most issues never arose, and the ones which did have been solved. Turbines in most markets are now required to have certified low-voltage ride through capability (LVRT).

  •  Currently, utility engineers are very supportive of wind's addition to the grid. Decentralized generation has positive aspects as well.

  •  I've never seen any technical problems which haven't also had a solution over time.
