Texas Sets New All-Time Wind Energy Record - Scientific American Blog Network
Nice!
Wind provided 40 percent of Texas’s electricity for 17 straight hours one windy day in December
...
The latest record is news not only because wind provided nearly half of Texas’s electricity needs, but also that it did so for so many hours in a row.
...
The duration of the record is a big deal because it shows that the rest of the Texas grid can handle a whole lot of wind energy for an extended period of time without suffering instability or brownouts that some predicted.
Nice!
