Book description

In one concise volume, this practical text provides a comprehensive overview of all the causes and remedies of energy intermittency. It describes different levels of variability for traditional and renewable energy sources, presenting detailed solutions for handling energy intermittency through trade, collaboration, demand management, and active energy storage. It simulates scenarios regarding resource time-flow, energy conversion devices, and demand structure to assist in evaluating technical viability. It also discusses the conditions for establishing such systems in terms of economic requirements and regulatory measures.
