wind diversity – Page 2

Approaching 62 hours becalmed on the mainland – what would this mean for battery storage?

Some back-of-the-envelope calculations being a starting point to help me understand how much real contribution electric vehicles might make in feeding back into the grid when intermittent generation is absent.

Is the changing generation mix in the NEM requiring it to start making capacity payments?

Some thoughts about Capacity Payments – given the article in the AFR yesterday

The NEM might support 37% energy supplied from wind – but it would still require at least 21GW of non-wind capacity on standby

A hypothetical case of what production patterns from wind might look like through a year with increased installed capacity of wind farms.

About Wind Diversity

A quick look at the extent to which wind supplies (across all wind turbines in the NEM) are diverse enough for supplies to have a degree of dependability.
