During Sunday’s Storm Ciara, Pancho noticed a dramatic spike in wind output. During the morning, wind output fell rapidly from 11GW to 8GW, before recovering just as sharply again.

Presumably this fall reflected the shutdown of windmills as the wind became too strong.

Fortunately CCGT was on hand to quickly fill the gap, and turn down again as wind output ramped back up:

Just imagine the problems the grid will face when wind capacity is quadrupled and CCGT shut down!
