Figure 1. Solar power is intermittent, and is non-dispatchable without an energy storage system because of cloud cover and limited daytime hours.[1]Intermittent electricity is electrical energy that is not continuously available due to external factors that cannot be controlled, produced by electricity generating sources that vary in their conditions on a fairly short time scale. Sources of intermittent electricity include solar power,[2] wind power,[3] tidal power, and wave power.[4] Althoug...
