The mayor advantage of the European grid is the disconnectedness over long distances

I'd say the disconnectedness cross-border is a disadvantage as the grid already is saturated (1). It can be windy in poland, the generated power can't make it to france.

7 days is an understatement if going solar + wind + storage is the plan. Germany has longer periods of no sun and no wind on record.
