No, and it's the problem with pulling numbers out of thin air.

I wrote on that topic a few years ago with a simulation being done on real data from RTE (French electricity transport network) if you're interested[1] you can even play with the LibreOffice spreadsheet[2] by yourself if you like. (Caveat: everything is in French).

And keep in mind that France is actually favored compared to many other countries when it comes to wind stability because it has three wind regions with different dynamics (even though they aren't entirely independent either).
