So you think that intermittents are supporting dispatchable fossil fuel power plants and hydroelectric?
Supporting definition: bearing all or part of the weight of something.
So intermittents are carrying the weight of dispatchable generation? Not only could they stand on their own, but furthermore, they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and support the reliable generation when required?
Or this definition of supplementary: added to complete or make up a deficiency I'm just curious, what deficiency does dispatchable power possess, that adding non dispatchable intermittent generation will make up for? Unless of course you consider cheap and reliable to be a deficiency?
