In conclusion, industrial manufacturing and cargo transportation — both over land and over sea — could be run almost entirely on
variable renewable power sources, with little need for energy storage, transmission networks, balancing capacity or overbuilding renewable power plants.
These allow the integration of a range of options, including coupling with the electricity sector through heat pumps and power to heat, using the generation from
variable renewable power sources at times of low demand to heat water for the district heating system.

powered by inherently
variable sustainable
sources (e.g., wind and solar), would result in
variable hydrogen output flow that could cause downstream system issues without proper system engineering.

variable of fluctuating fossil
power prices and secure long - term, large
sources of
renewable energy.
Japan needs to create a
power system, like Europe already has, with the capacity to adjust for
variable renewable energy
sources, such as solar and wind.
The limits are unfavorable for
renewable energy
sources (solar and wind
power, which are
variable in output), at around half of what was set for thermal
power - generated (fossil - fuel) electricity.
Although
variable renewable energy
sources were critical to European society for some 500 years before fossil fuels took over, there were no chemical batteries, no electric transmission lines, and no balancing capacity of fossil fuel
power plants to deal with the
variable energy output of wind and water
power.
Because of these existing dispatchable resources, California poses a less challenging problem than most areas elsewhere, most or all practical
renewable energy
sources are
variable generation, and dedicated storage must be purchased for leveling
power output.
The aim of the research is to explore the extent to which
variable renewable energy, especially wind
power, can generate a stable electricity
source to meet the needs of the population.
Another issue: The rapid cycling of thermal
power plants up and down, on and off, in response to
variable renewable sources, is creating major thermal stresses on them.
