Hmm has anyone experimented with variable frequency transmission and solid state frequency synthesizing power transformers?

So you might be able to increase all the turbines from 50 to 70. That will absorb the excess power for a moment. Then you're maxed out and still need to shed just as much power as before.
So it doesn't help in any significant way, you have to set up a more complicated grid with very expensive transformers, and it requires you to design all your turbines to be twice as strong.
