Although wind energy provides many environmental benefits compared to other energy sources, there are some disadvantages associated with wind energy. In this lesson, we’ll look at the intermittent nature of wind energy and see how wind-energy producers can combat the intermittency of wind.

I. Intermittent Energy Source

Cut-in speed is the minimum wind speed that is required to operate a wind turbine. At most onshore wind farms, compared to offshore wind farms that are located at sea, there can...
