Wind power is one the world’s fastest growing electric energy source, but as wind is intermittent, a single wind farm cannot deliver a steady amount of energy. This is why scientists at Stanford University want to connect wind farms to develop a cheaper and reliable power source. Interconnecting wind farms with a transmission grid should reduce the power swings caused by wind variability and provide a somewhat constant and reliable electric power (or ‘baseload’ power) provided by other power plants. The idea is attractive, but will the various companies involved with wind farms adopt it? Time will tell.
