What a lot of people miss is that wind can be overprovisioned thus reducing the instances where it undergenerates.
- Brakenshire 7y agoTo a certain extent, the problem is low wind conditions can occur over very large areas, so the overprovisioning has to include plants built far away from one another with long distance interconnectors. Overprovisioning is more relevant for seasonal variations in solar in my opinion.
