We have (7) 100 KW towers. The funny/ Sad thing is, we don't even have enough load to dump the energy we create & no way to store it. Money well wasted. We got ripped off for sure & suckered into the "Sustainability" B.S.
There are several ideas to dump the "waste" energy as you call it.
Why is there not a synchronous inverter to sell it back to the utility?
Why is there not a battery bank for storage?
You could also dump it into a large insulated water storage tank to offset water heating costs?
Or my favorite,
Run the excess energy into the largest Tesla coil you can find.

1. They don't make enough to sell it to the grid. They might have to buy power from the grid to cover their electric use.
2. You have a battery big enough to handle 700 volts? Duke Energy has been trying to develop a battery storage system for years.
3. Be cheaper to just lock the turbine in place and not spin the blades. If you can make steam. You could sell the steam to some factory. But the problem with that is. Wind farms are far away from anything like that.
4. The Tesla coil. If it's too close. You end up frying your own wind mills.
