Dunkelflaute, a weather phenomenon in Europe, refers to calm days with dense clouds, causing significant disruptions to renewable energy production, impacting energy markets.
As Europe shifts towards cleaner energy sources like solar and wind, the Dunkelflaute phenomenon poses challenges, resulting in reliance on backup generators during calm days.
In contrast to the past, where nuclear and fossil fuels dominated energy supply, the increased usage of renewables has made energy production less predictable.
The variability of renewable energy sources during Dunkelflaute emphasizes the need for reliable backup systems, illustrating the ongoing tension between transitioning to cleaner energy and maintaining stability.
