| Summary: | Wind and solar energy is a fast-growing
share of the global energy mix. But integrating them into
power-system operations requires significant adaptations to
compensate for their variability. Solutions include
increasing the amount of flexible generation within the
system, combining, and dispersing variable resources to
smooth aggregate output, expanding the transmission network,
using smart technology to control supply and demand, and
storing electricity. |
