NERC Actions on IBRs: What You Need to Know

Last month, we asked our audience: Which factor impacts wind farm curtailment the most? Overall, the most voted answer was Transmission Limits, with 57 percent of the vote. In second place, Turbine Height received 29 percent. In third place, Panel Tilt received 14 percent of the vote. Finally, Fuel Quality received zero percent of the vote.

The correct answer is Transmission Limits. Insufficient transmission capacity and local grid congestion are the primary factors driving wind farm curtailment, frequently forcing operators to reduce output when the transmission system cannot handle the electricity supply.
