before you do anything this is only west denmark data.
take east, south, and north data, sum them all together to see what the TRUE capacity factor is.
You see, Denmark is pretty big, wind may be blowing somewhere and not elsewhere.
You could even make a model, determining the distance to the load and calculated the transmission losses for each windfarm, then we would be getting very accurate results.
Gilgamesh - you claim : " Denmark is pretty big, wind may be blowing somewhere and not elsewhere", is wrong !
Well for one,Denmark is a PRETTY small place - expect the same weather "all over the place" if you ever go there.
West Denmark, Jutland, is actually the big-chunk making up most of Denmark.
whatever - and as I say WTs have their issues , dont you agree ?
Sorry to say: No. Denmark is pretty small. About the size of a coffee-cup. Only if you take greenland into consideration, it becomes much bigger.
