Unbalanced wind farm planning exacerbates fluctuations

If European countries cooperated better in the field of wind energy instead of focusing on specific countries with generous subsidies and the highest average productivity, wind power output would fluctuate less. This is the conclusion reached by a group of energy and climate researchers at ETH Zürich and Imperial College London, who for the first time have combined a long-term analysis of predominant weather patterns with Europe-wide wind electricity generation.
