Networked Wind Power For Base-Load Stability
It's common sense that at any point in time, some wind arms are making very little or no electricity, while others, nearby, are cranking at peak output as a weather front passes or storm brews. In theory, linking wind farms together might well result in a stable average output, once enough wind farms are installed in a region. TreeHugger's Jeremy gave this some coverage:- last year, incorporating some cool graphics. The question is, how large the area, and how many wind power linkages are needed, to hit that sweet spot where base load stability equivalence is re...
