摘要
Current renewable portfolio standards in Illinois call for 25 percent of the state's energy to be met through renewable means by 2025, with 75 percent of this requirement to come from wind. The problematic intermittency of wind might be overcome by a geographically dispersed portfolio of wind farms. Mean variance portfolio theory can be used to calculate the optimal distribution of new wind installations. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
