Electrical energy stands out in importance due to the many applications that it has and the many more that are currently being developed for it. This growing demand means that larger quantities of electrical power must be produced, and this must be done in a sustainable and low carbon-intensity manner. As such, renewable sources of electrical energy, harnessing resources such as solar energy or the wind, are gaining in importance within the electrical energy mix. Given how these are produced, an important part of these are known as variable renewable energy (VRE).
