  • Abstract
    The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) serves as the independent system operator for most of the state of Texas. There is more than 74,000-MW capacity for peak demand and over 11,000 MW of operating wind generation capacity in ERCOT. In February 2015, wind generation reached a record output of 11,154 MW, which was 34% of the load at the time.
