Abstract: A wind farm (10) may include a plurality of variable speed wind turbines (12, 14, 16). A centralized controller (50) may be configured to selectively adjust a respective electrical output power from each of the wind turbines at least during an underfrequency condition. The controller may include a monitor (52) configured to monitor a grid frequency value relative to at least a first threshold value. A deviation of the grid frequency value beyond the first threshold value is indicative of the underfrequency condition. The controller further includes a control unit (54) configured to effect a step response to the electrical output power of the wind turbine in a direction selected to counteract the underfrequency condition.

Abstract: To improve stability of catalytic performance, an aromatizing catalyst for converting lower hydrocarbons into aromatic compounds is regenerated.
