TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate wind energy after correcting for these two factors and find that the results are not encouraging and conclude that the analysis at times is discriminatory in the sense that the costs of transmission and distribution are added to the central grid alternative but costs of the locational constraints of wind energy siting are not quantified.
Abstract: Conventional economic analysis of wind energy often ignores the fact that it is not an energy source available on tap, but is intermittent. The analysis at times is discriminatory in the sense that the costs of transmission and distribution are added to the central grid alternative but the costs of the locational constraints of wind energy siting are not quantified. This paper evaluates wind energy after correcting for these two factors. The results are not encouraging.
