Abstract :
A wide range of power generation technologies exist today, whose characteristics can vary significantly. Additionally, a diverse range of wind turbines are available in the market. With experienced wind developers taking the charge in installing multi-megawatt-size windfarms at a rapid pace, the role of wind power in electricity generation is bound to grow in significance in the coming years. This panel takes a critical look at the operating characteristics of existing and planned wind power generation systems and their relationship to interconnection requirements and performance standards
