+-   Stable integration of renewables in the power grid on Sunday November 08, @08:13AM diegocgteleline.es

Submitted by diegocgteleline.es on Sunday November 08, @08:13AM
diegocgteleline.es writes "One of the most frequently raised arguments against renewable power sources is that they can only supply a low percentage of the total power because the unpredictability can unstabilize the grid. Spain seem to have proved the contrary: In the last 3 days, the wind power generation records with respect the total demand were beat two times, (in special conditions: a very windy weekend, during nigth): 45% day 5 and 53% (spanish) last night. There was no unstability. How it was done? There's a Control Center that processes meteorologic data from the whole country and predicts, with high certainty, the wind and solar power that will be generated, allowing a stable integration of all the renewable power. You can see a graphic of the record here."
