"extra physical frequency response plant"
English to French
Tech/Engineering
Engineering: Industrial
énergie électrique, parc éolien
Bonjour,
Je travaille sur un texte sur l'énergie éolienne.
Je ne comprends pas le sens de la phrase suivante, plus particulièrement le sens de "extra physical frequency response plant" dans la phrase :
" In addition, new techniques of demand-side management, currently being investigated in America, may mean that the need for extra physical frequency response plant may be reduced, with consequential reductions in cost."
Des idées ou des suggestions ?
Par avance, merci

Je suis d'accord avec le point soulevé par Tony M.
Je suis parti de l'extrait ci-dessous pour comprendre le contexte et soumettre ma version de cette traduction.
Grid integration of wind power plants is complicated by a number of issues, primarily related to wind variability and the electrical characteristics of wind generators. Frequency control is a particularly significant issue with high levels of wind and solar penetration. A typical wind plant appears to the grid as a substantially different generation source than a conventional power plant. A significant difference is that the wind energy source is inherently uncontrollable. In addition, the electrical characteristics of wind generators result in a disturbance response that is naturally different from that of conventional synchronous generators. Without special controls, a wind plant does not inherently participate in the regulation of grid frequency as do synchronous machines. And, when wind generation displaces conventional synchronous generation, the burden of frequency regulation placed upon the remaining synchronous generators is increased. The paper summarizes results from a recent investigation of system frequency response in the Western US as it may be affected by large amounts of wind generation. Impacts and benefits of wind plant controls that provide frequency response are illustrated with quantitative examples. Both inertial and primary frequency response behaviors are examined.

Discussion
You seem to be getting confused here, from the way you are parsing it. The key notion is 'extra ... plant' (plant = generating facilities, etc.)
The 'physical frequency response' part is the trickiest; without researching it further, I'd imagine the idea is that 'physical frequency response' probably means 'plants that will produce power as and when it is being demanded' (costly to provide) instead of 'plants that will produce power when the "free" source energy is available (e.g. wind, solar, ...) but which is then difficult to store'.
