Electricity Systems Can Cope With Large-Scale Wind Power
Delft, Netherlands (SPX) Feb 25, 2009Research by TU Delft proves that Dutch power stations are able to cope at any time in the future with variations in demand for electricity and supply of wind power, as long as use is made of up-to-date wind forecasts. PhD candidate Bart Ummels also demonstrates that there is no need for energy storage facilities. Ummels will receive his PhD on this topic on Thursday 26 February. Wind ... more China Wind Systems Begins Production At New Facility
