Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 07/24/2013 --Overproduction from intermittent sources such as wind is causing an electricity oversupply into the power grid system in regions where wind installed capacity contributes significantly to the electricity generation mix. Federal and state policies support renewable power, with the highest priority for both access to the grid and avoiding curtailment. However, some cases arise in practical operations when renewable power needs to be curtailed, to avoid a grid collapse. The amount of wind curtailment will likely witness a rise in the near future, as more wind generation capacity is added. Curtailed wind-generated electricity may receive compensation, and this varies by jurisdiction and the exact reason for curtailment.

Scope
