A proposed solution for the intermittency of wind power and other renewable power sources is to create a supergrid of interconnected wind farms across western Europe. This large-scale array of dispersed wind farms would be located in different wind regimes, reducing the overall variation in power output.

This is generally installed by a power utilityhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_power_industry company. Individual power unit in this case is referred to as a wind generator.
  • A wind farm is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electric power. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines, and cover an extended area of hundreds of square miles, but the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural or other purposes. A wind farm may also be located offshore. Sour Susan's Green Dress

  • Wind farm refers to a group of wind turbines, designed for generating AC power, located in a site for feeding electrical power to the gridhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission. This is generally installed by a power utilityhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_power_industry company. Individual power unit in this case is referred to as a wind generator. Therefore wind generator refers to a wind driven rotating equipment for power generation converting wind energy to electrical energy. In this article technical details of the wind generator and the connecting details to the grid are brought out. The wind generatorshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_generators are environmentally friendly in contrast to fossil fuelled power generating stations. But the total capacity of each wind form is very low compared to each unit capacity.

The Gansu Wind Farm in China has over 5,000 MW installed with a goal of 20,000 MW by 2020. China has several other "wind power bases" of similar size. The Alta Wind Energy Center in California, United States is the largest onshore wind farm outside of China, with a capacity of 1020 MW of power. As of February 2012, the Walney Wind Farm in the United Kingdom is the largest offshore wind farm in the world at 367 MW, followed by Thanet Offshore Wind Project (300 MW), also in the United Kingdom. As of February 2012, the Fântânele-Cogealac Wind Farm in Romania is the largest onshore wind farm in Europe at 600 MW. There are many large wind farms under construction and these include Sinus Holding Wind Farm (700 MW), Anholt Offshore Wind Farm (400 MW), BARD Offshore 1 (400 MW), Clyde Wind Farm (350 MW), Greater Gabbard wind farm (500 MW), Lincs Wind Farm (270 MW), London Array (1000 MW), Lower Snake River Wind Project (343 MW), Macarthur Wind Farm (420 MW), Shepherds Flat Wind Farm (845 MW), and Sheringham Shoal (317 MW).
