That's quite misleading though. You can choose and schedule maintenance slots so they don't overlap all at once. Much harder to do with wind, hence you get 0MW

That's quite misleading though. You can choose and schedule maintenance slots so they don't overlap all at once. Much harder to do with wind, hence you get 0MW output at some times, and massive overgenereration at once causing very negative electricity prices.
- guerby 6y agoYes and sometimes you have unplanned 680 MW to 0 with "baseload" nuclear: https://www.energylivenews.com/2015/12/15/unplanned-shutdown-of-edfs-nuclear-reactor/ https://www.energylivenews.com/2015/12/15/unplanned-shutdown... Wind is intermitent but predictable. Loosing a turbine will not make the plant production go to zero (albeit loosing transmission will but same for all power plants).
- cbmuser 6y agoOne nuclear reactor out of 57. Wow, that's really a problem. On the other hand, we have times in Germany when wind and solar are producing less than 1% of their installed power.
