[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3291107, member: 29706"] Right, I have wondered if they do some sort of trickery to make it all work. I would not be surprised if a type of inverter is used to take the power generated on the wind farms and turn it into what is needed for the grid. Kinda how a lot of the smaller systems work. Take 3 phase ac at whatever voltage, amperage, and frequency then convert to DC then take that and convert back to AC at the right voltage and frequency. I know the conversions are all creating a loss but they have to convert the DC on the solar farms to AC as well so whats an extra step. [/QUOTE]
