The difference between min and max production for wind is over 100x throughout the year and inter-quartile range is 14 and 52GWh per day.
So you can't really rely on renewables in this type of configuration just yet. Until storage 'problem' is addressed, possible solutions are:
1. Maintain traditional power sources as baseline providers. The problem is figuring out what is the right baseline.
2. Have interconnects with suppliers of non-correlated sources such as Norway's hydropower plants.
3. Built out nuclear.
