Will it need extensive backup?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe energy available from wind, waves, tides and the sun varies in ways that may not match variations in energy demand. Assimilating these fluctuations can affect the operation and economics of electricity networks, markets and the output of other forms of generation. Is this a significant problem, or can these new sources be integrated into the grid system without the need for extensive backup or energy storage capacity?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book examines the significance of the issue of variability of renewable electricity supplies, and presents technical and operational solutions to the problem of reconciling the differing patterns of supply and demand. Its chapters are authored by leading experts in the field, who aim to explain and quantify the impacts of variability in renewable energy, and in doing so, dispel many of the myths and misunderstandings surrounding the topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Godfrey Boyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844074188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844074181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.67w x 0.96d","brand":"Godfrey Boyle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065847361791,"sku":"9781844074181","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45cffeaf-26e8-41b0-b6aa-61cb1afa7edf.jpg?v=1768677638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/renewable-electricity-and-the-grid-godfrey-boyle-9781844074181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
