Abstract :
The need for backup power has been overstated, but grid interconnections are crucial. Wind power supplies a large proportion of the electricity in countries like Denmark, Germany, and Spain, and its use is growing at an explosive pace around the world. Wind power´s rapid growth, especially in Europe, is sustainable only if grid interconnections improve,
