This has all led to a decline in demand for electricity from the grid and this, in turn, has impacted heavily on the profitability of coal - fired power stations in particular.

Since the vast wind turbine arrays produce a scant amount of power, at times when it is not in demand, or too much of it so that the existing grid can not accommodate it causing some of the wind plants to shut down and dump the electricity produced, there must be some other overriding reason for the increasing proliferation of «wind farms» both on - shore and off - shore.

High levels of renewable generation also make demands on the existing grid — demands that it was not designed to cope with, such as transporting large amounts of wind power within a country, or coping with — as in Germany — big numbers of solar modules all feeding current into the grid (most likely the distribution grid, which was not designed for two - way traffic).

This amount of variability in production is normal, however, to keep the lights on, the electrical grid needs to match electricity demand with electricity supply at all times.

In general, there are several ways that a given generating facility of any kind can make money: by providing energy; by offering capacity on demand; and by providing what are called ancillary services (things like voltage and frequency regulation, which ensure the stability of the grid).

On top of this, the report notes that solar thermal cooling technology - in which the sun's heat is used to power thermally driven absorption chillers or evaporation devices to cool air - can reduce the burden on electric grids at times of peak cooling demand by fully or partially replacing conventional electrically powered air conditioners in buildingOn top of this, the report notes that solar thermal cooling technology - in which the sun's heat is used to power thermally driven absorption chillers or evaporation devices to cool air - can reduce the burden on electric grids at times of peak cooling demand by fully or partially replacing conventional electrically powered air conditioners in buildingon electric grids at times of peak cooling demand by fully or partially replacing conventional electrically powered air conditioners in buildings.
