Can wind energy continue double-digit growth?

Article Abstract:

The fickleness of wind energy has led researchers from the International Energy Agency to estimate that 100 MW of backup power from traditional sources is needed for every 100 megawatts of wind power in some cases. The increase in European wind-farm capacity could saturate the grids of neighboring countries has forced grid operators to limit scheduled power transmission between grids.

The unruly power grid

Article Abstract:

The electric power systems collapsed in Denmark, Italy and the United Kingdom, within weeks or months of the U.S. blackout. Nancy Kopell, a mathematician and chief scientist with Alphatech Inc., feels that the power industry needs to take a longer view of blackout research and to think more deeply regarding the grid's propensity for nonintuitive behavior.
