And solar power compliments wind perfectly
Wind power is a pretty good match for the UK electricity system. Like demand, it's highest in winter, lowest in summer. Across the year, output is rising as more windfarms get built.pic.twitter.com/oeg03FOyYn

That is completely true - but as a windfarmer I am painfully aware that the averages only tell part of quite a volatile overall picture.

But as you’ve said, as turbines get bigger they start to have baseload characteristics; substantial power at lower, more frequent wind speed

Even better match for heat demand which tends to be highest is winter too! But don’t waste it on a storage heater. Use a heat pump and treble the effect.http://www.neatpumps.com/media-coverage/the-herald-business-hq.aspx …

Another useful correlation is peak demand in cities, which is increasingly driven by air con, matching (rooftop) solar output
