Denmark short and statisticky wind thread

Confronted with 2 presentations of 2018 data.
1 from the PF Back summary I noted yesterday ( in https://twitter.com/ScottLuft/status/1198327735455821825)showed">https://twitter.com/ScottLuft... wind as 41% of DK& #39;s demand.

another I saw presented as an "overview of the general DK electricity production"

This second one has "Vind, Vand og sol" (wind, water and sun) as only 12%.
Way less that the 41% I calculated from wind producing 13,898 GWh and demand/load being 34,164 GWh

Both sets of figures were cited to be from https://energinet.dk/ ">https://energinet.dk/">... - and I now believe they are

I failed to get data to download from this page, but can see they identify both production and "consumed in Denmark" every line:.

The">https://www.energidataservice.dk/en/datase... other data set I collected annual data for 2015-2018.
Here& #39;s where the statistical work might be meaningful...

Every year there& #39;s at least an hour where wind produced essentially nothing.
The distribution is remarkable, with the standard deviation of onshore output being 80% of the mean (or average)

A histogram of 2018& #39;s onshore production shows how common it is for there to be little wind (this reminds me the distribution in Alberta - where the node has been 0), but...

Offshore turbines are both newer and offshore, so the hourly distribution of production is different.
But it& #39;s still most common for there to be little output -it& #39;s just a more consistent output in moderate winds.
so...

it& #39;s a good warning not to assume industrial wind turbines with higher capacity factors have higher capacity value. I& #39;ve been surprised I haven& #39;t seen it to be true, but upon reflection when there& #39;s no wind, there& #39;s no output.

Ain& #39;t gonna change.

I& #39;m now going to say the first graphic I showed on this thread is not for all of Denmark. It may be for one retailer, but today I did manage to download the 2018 data from the official source, and it has DK using 90% of its wind output.
