The Challenge of Intermittency and the Role of Batteries The transition to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is gaining momentum globally. For instance, during periods of reduced solar irradiance or wind speed, traditional energy sources such as coal often experience a surge in production to meet demand.

About 160 kilometers northwest of Beijing, the city of Zhangjiakou with its rugged terrain boasts some of the richest wind and solar resources in China. Renewables account for nearly half of the city’s electricity output with less than a third of its full solar and wind potential of 70 gigawatts installed so far.

This in turn causes a reduction in nighttime winds that would otherwise blow pollutants out to sea. In addition, built structures interfere with local winds and contribute to relatively stagnant afternoon weather conditions. Fei and his colleagues focused on wind patterns, which are driven by temperature contrasts between land and sea.
