Re:Wind and solar are attracting the most funding by eigenvector on Wednesday April 06, 2016 @05:24PM (#11442247)
It never gets calm and cloudy all at once over an entire grid balancing area, so no, not every MW of wind and solar needs to be backed by an equivalent amount of operating reserve. Furthermore, conventional generation requires contingency reserve as well, because it can be tripped offline for any number of non-weather related reasons.
