Synchronous machines
Very stiff little damping
Can produce rather than
absorb reactive power
Hard to get online
Requires a cushion
between it an the rotor
Fluid couplings can be
dangerous

What to do about it
Ignore it
Wind produces 10%-20% of
our electricity
Geographical distribution
Add dispatchable load
Add storage
