Suppose that on a particular power grid, 30 wind power generating stations each have output which is uniformly distributed between 24 and 36 MW.
-
a) What is the (approximate) probability that the total power available from these 30 stations would exceed 950 MW? Assume that the power generated by each station is independent of other stations (which, of course, doesn’t make much sense, but taking into account dependence needs to know about the
covariance between stations, so we’ll ignor that for now). -
b) What total power level from these 30 stations would have only a 5% chance of being exceeded, approximately?
