50% Wind Energy in the Danish Grid is Feasible
"Grid integration of up to 50% wind energy in the Danish electricity system by 2025 is technically and economically feasible according to a new study from the system operator Elkraft System."
And this probably doesn't include the use of wind-friendly associated technologies like "Vehicle-To-Grid" (V2G) technologies...
Putting More Wind on the Wire with V2G
"To absorb all of SMUD's [Sacramento Municipal Utility District's] excess overnight wind capacity and discharge it during the day -- solving the 12-hour diurnal storage problem -- would require just 3 percent of the community's vehicles be V2G-capable. He [Dr. Willet Kempton] emphasized that this approach would take huge amount of carbon out of the transportation system, as well as the electric power system. It is even theoretically possible to get as high as sixty percent wind penetration, though getting enough vehicle owners signed up to participate would be a challenge."
