Electric power systems with a large share of intermittent resources may rely more on flexible resources such as gas turbines or hydropower to «firm up» the output of intermittent generators.

Larger turbines (like coal, nuclear and most natural gas) going down unexpectedly can be much more disruptive since you are losing 100x as much power (or more!)

I did a lot of math on this and honestly, the ONLY way I could find to reasonably integrate large amounts of wind / solar... is to convert most of it into hydrogen, storing WEEKS WORTH in vast, metal lined, bored tunnels (or just huge arrays of tanks) near conventional gas fired turbine power plants... and JUST BURN IT in the power plant as fuel to buffer out the remainder of the wind / solar that's actually providing electricity.

The thing is when you have a wind farm with say 100 2 MW turbines, the failure of one turbine will not interrupt service, but large coal, nuclear and gas units tripping off line can cause more troubles.
