That isn't correct. According to a paper from the Fraunhofer Institute:
>...Long phases of no or little wind power are a potential thread to future energy systems with a high share of renewable energies. A frequently cited example observed in Germany was a whole week with very little wind power due to temperature inversion in January 2009.
>...We find the average duration of low wind power feed-in phase to grow linearly with the threshold: Phases with a wind power feed-in of less than two percent of installed power are typically four hours long and phases with less than five percent feed-in are on average seven hours long. However, a period of wind power feed-in below eight percent of installed power that lasts one week occurs every two years and a period of more than ten days occurs every ten years.

- Nasrudith 8y agoI was speaking of wind in absolutes - even then it produces 3% which while not adequate unless massively overbuilt is still something. Although it doesn't mention solar during that time period.
- opo 8y ago>I was speaking of wind in absolutes - Well... the original poster was referring to the potential problem where you don't get any electricity from wind for several days, so it might have been better if you dealt with that issue rather than speaking of wind in absolutes since utility grade windmills need at least roughly 13 MPH winds to generate power. >...even then it produces 3% which while not adequate unless massively overbuilt is still something. No, not really.
