Wind turbine develop dirty power full of current spikes, voltage spikes and harmonics. The output varies from day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute. The utility grid has to purchase and maintain backup power for when the turbines are not operating. Having to purchase twice the equipment for the same amount of power. As the wind turbine output increases and decreases with wind gusts etc. The rest of the generators on the grid have to vary power to match. No easy task. Around here turbines are limited to a max of 7% of the distribution line's rated power. A wind turbine on somebody else's property away from sight and sound of yourself is one thing. Living close enough to hear them and be in range of the shadow flicker is something else. Solar is no treat either as clouds pass over causing wide swings in output power.
