1. A method for retrofitting a wind power generation system that includes wind turbine generators and a rating limit for grid interconnection, comprising:

  • replacing the wind turbine generators having a collective energy output with replacement wind turbine generators having an increased collective energy output, wherein the increased collective energy output exceeds the rating limit; and

    placing a vanadium redox battery in electrical communication with the replacement wind turbine generators, the vanadium redox battery sized to absorb and store the difference between the increased collective energy output and the collective energy output.
