Great article, a new Must Read. Great historical perspectives and description of inertia with regards to current flow and description of losses.

Pablo technically wind turbines make AC rectified to DC inverted to AC. Back in the day wind turbines were asychronous generators connected directly to the grid. Basically overdriven squirrel cage motors. This caused a host of issues, to fix them wind turbines went the inverter route.

Just wait until a green left fan tells you how great inverter based inertia is, it's loads of fun.
