Does intermittent electricity jeopardise grid stability?
Description
Intermittent sources of electricity (solar photovoltaic and wind power) supply electricity grids in very different ways to dispatchable sources (hydro, nuclear or fossil fuel power plants). This article sets out these specific features and gives some indications of the solutions that will need to be implemented to guarantee grid balance in the event of strong growth in intermittent sources.

Abstract (French)
Les sources d'electricite intermittentes (solaire photovoltaique et eolien) alimentent les reseaux electriques selon des modalites tres differentes de celles des sources pilotables (hydrauliques, centrales nucleaires ou centrales thermiques brulant des combustibles fossiles). Cet article precise ces specificites et donne quelques indications sur les solutions qui devront etre mises en oeuvre pour garantir l'equilibre des reseaux en cas de fort developpement des sources intermittentes.
