RE:RE:50 Hzgeemonet wrote: You're correct on most things old nagger, but on this you're out to lunch. Wind turbines in North America generate at 60hz. Solar panels generate DC which then go through ICBMs to get turned into AC at whatever frequency you want, in North America it's 60 hz. Changing frequency is very easy. Any big electrical motor and some small ones will start with a VFD - variable frequency drive. I ain't the smartest but I've been in a few wind turbines.
Just finished talking to my local expert on the subject. you are right about the VFD's. The problem lies in synchronizing the power from too many distributed local providers who each provide constantly varying power amounts . The frequency across the system must be maintained carefully so as to not damage computer equipment and pc controllers which are not always otherwise protected . The answer is increased AI and many are already working on it, but for now it should serve as a red flag to those who are too gungho.on renewables
