April 21, 2009

Loss of wind causes Texas power grid emergency | www.reuters.com
The main component of the Texas problem was the inability of conventional generation to deliver when the wind fell off. Predictions of future windpower are becoming highly reliable, even up to 30 hours. The Texas drop off was as predicted, but backup plants failed. Further, the entire US grid has reliability problems completely unrelated to windpower.
