Intermittency is what happens when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine, and another dependable source of electricity is required to make up the difference between electricity demand ...

Managing variability is not new Variability is not a new issue in the power industry since traditional power sources have some variability, and demand is also variable over all timeframes. The ...

The intermittency problem is not just about changes in the weather. It’s also a cyclical pattern. Natural gas, coal, and nuclear can be adjusted to match consumption patterns.

Intermittency and storage One of the annoying arguments against solar and wind power is "intermittency" -- the fact that the sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow.

We performed multifractal analysis and highlighted a very-short-term intermittency (C1α, 4 ≤ scale < 16 heartbeats). The C1α values exhibited a strong negative linear correlation (r = −0.732 ...

As for intermittency, I just mentioned batteries. You can generate more energy than you’re using when the sun is out or the wind is blowing, and use the stored excess energy when it isn’t.

Variability and intermittency will occur only at the local level, where, however, wind turbines will use their own battery storage to smooth out the differences and solar panels will use ...

POSH will deploy a 1-megawatt-hour sodium-ion BESS to manage solar intermittency. Posh Energy's subsidiary, Posh Electric ...

A while back I raised the problem of intermittency — the fact that solar and wind power depend on the sun shining and the wind blowing, neither of which happens continuously — and asked if ...
