Power-quality issues and the need for reactive-power compensation in the grid integration of wind power

The integration of wind power into national grids introduces a unique set of challenges. The wind-turbine generators are incapable of supplying the voltage and frequency control and they absorb significant amounts of reactive power particularly when there is a fault in the system. The utilities, the world over, are making their own Grid Codes which must deal with these new challenges being imposed by the integration of wind power with their respective grids.
