Abstract
Techniques are described for operating a wind power facility in order to provide reactive power support to a power grid. The wind power facility may be a wind turbine or a wind power plant. An exemplary method includes increasing an amount of reactive power injected into the power grid, decreasing an amount of active power injected into the power grid by a certain amount, and dissipating and/or storing substantially the certain amount of active power.
