2. Inertial response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_response

   the wind tends to be higher at night, so the effects of the low demand - and thus smaller amount of synchronous generators online - are exacerbated; a VRE generator usually either does not have a rotational mass (solar), or its design does not electromechanically couple it with the rest of the grid.

3. Southwest Windpower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Windpower

   Southwest Windpower (SWWP) was a wind turbine manufacturer established in 1987 based in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States.The company specialized in small, reliable battery charging wind generators that complement photovoltaics (solar energy or PV) in supplying energy to rural areas.

4. Unconventional wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_wind_turbines

   Counter-rotating wind turbines Light pole wind turbine. Unconventional wind turbines are those that differ significantly from the most common types in use.. As of 2024, the most common type of wind turbine is the three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT), where the turbine rotor is at the front of the nacelle and facing the wind upstream of its supporting turbine tower.

5. Liberty Wind Turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Wind_Turbine

   Liberty Wind Turbine uses an 80 meter tall tower as a standard in its design. The rotor diameter varies amongst particular versions of turbines. The diameter for version C89 is 89 meters, 93 meters for version C93, 96 meters for version C96, and 99 meters for C99. Blade lengths are 43.2m for C89, 45.2m for C93, 46.7m for C96 and 48.2m for C100.

6. List of most powerful wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_powerful_wind...

   All the most powerful turbines are offshore wind turbines. This list also includes the most powerful onshore wind turbines, although they are relatively small compared to the largest offshore ones. As of June 2024, the most powerful wind turbine in operation is the world's first 18MW semi-direct drive offshore wind turbine, developed by ...

7. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

   This is useful for large variable speed wind turbines, because wind speed can change suddenly. When a gust of wind hits a wind turbine, the blades try to speed up, but a synchronous generator is locked to the speed of the power grid and cannot speed up. So large forces are developed in the hub, gearbox, and generator as the power grid pushes back.
