The grid parity of wind generation has drawn increasing attention owing to the serious subsidy funding shortages in China, but scientific evidences for the grid parity feasibility are still not sufficient, because most studies have neglected the additional balancing cost and grid-connection cost caused by the wind generation. We hence develop an integrated methodology to analyze the grid parity of ...
