Abstract
The drawbacks of wind power from the power system point
of view are its variability and unpredictability.
However, these problems are greatly reduced when wind
power is connected to larger power systems as these can
take advantage of the natural diversity in variable
sources. A large geographical spread of wind power will
reduce variability, increase predictability and decrease
the occasions with near zero or peak output. In this
article, the situation in the Nordic countries (Denmark,
Finland, Norway and Sweden) is described.
