Growing shares of solar and wind power call for increasingly flexible power systems.
This report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) outlines a planning approach to boost flexibility, specifically to accommodate the largest possible shares of variable renewable (solar and wind) energy sources.
The report comes in two parts:

Flexible generation, stronger transmission and distribution systems, increasing storage capacity and demand-side management all help to boost system flexibility, as do renewable-based heat and production. Increased flexibility should also contribute to long-term decarbonisation, which is essential to ensure a sustainable energy future.
