It's implicit in the Denmark discussion. They supposedly get 18% of their energy from wind, but as the article said, they haven't closed any power plants, and have to run the old ones all the time in order to insure even power distribution.
So why are they doing this? Ans: Cause it makes them feel better and intellectually superior typical lib reasoning.

Because of the intermittency and variability of the wind, conventional power plants must be kept running at full capacity to meet the actual demand for electricity.
This is not a true statment. I can't fight a false statement if that's what you've decided to believe.
