So we still have quite a ways to go, particularly when you're trying to get from 20 percent of the energy sources up to the eventual 100 percent we need, where then you run into the big challenge of intermittency [dips and peaks in power as wind and solar sources vary] and the cost of adding storage that would deal with that.

In explaining the value of BrightSource Energy's concentrating solar power (CSP) plants with thermal energy storage (TES) capability, the company's Vice President for Government Affairs and Communications Joe Desmond described a 2006 California «heat storm» during which «the California ISO reached its all - time maximum demand» and had «about 3,000 megawatts of wind available,» but «the amount of wind delivering electricity into the system when it hit its peak demand was 1 percent.»

When energy usage is highest, the wind farm will complement existing power sources to ensure the area has enough power during peak hours.

Modeling has also shown that it's relatively inexpensive to increase the reliability of the total wind output to a level equivalent to a coal - fired power station by adding a few low - cost peak - load gas turbines that are opearated infrequently, to fill in the gaps when the wind farm production is low (Diesendorf 2010).

California's wind resources and generator output tends to peak during the summer at a time when electricity demand in the state is also relatively high.

First, by reliably delivering clean energy — backed up with energy storage — during the times when the grid needs it most, Revolution Wind will help to defer the need to construct costly new peaking generating facilities and controversial transmission lines.

From a temporal perspective, OSW is typically strongest during daylight hours (when electricity demand peaks), while onshore wind tends to be strongest at night (when demand is lower)(Hartman 2014).

Wind power has many defects, one of which is that it is windiest in the spring and fall, when demand for electricity is at its low ebb, and least windy in the summer and winter, when electricity demand peaks.
