Wind turbine...He betrays a deep-seated ignorance. <br /><br />Wind turbines and solar panels are not independent. At any one time Europe is covered by only a handful of high and low pressure zones. Wind and sunshine is frequently correlated over scales as large as central Europe.<br /><br />The generators in Germany act in unison like one extremely unreliable, monolithic 20 GW plant.Soylenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125903130939473555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597656451205429515.post-67439206021066607922009-11-27T11:29:57.983-06:002009-11-27T11:29:57.983-06:00Ya sone sites in West Texas and both the Southern ...Ya sone sites in West Texas and both the Southern and northern Great planes are calmed to have 40% + capacity factors. I am not sure if this has been demonstrated by actual output, however. My policy is to assume it is true unless i know otherwise. Unfortunately otherwise frequently proves the case with claims made about wind.Charles Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125297013064527425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597656451205429515.post-42458287459073884882009-11-27T11:02:32.086-06:002009-11-27T11:02:32.086-06:00Charles -
