When thinking about an electrical energy system for the future, many publicly stated thoughts and reported work products revolve around increasing the share of variable renewable energy (VRE) in the energy system to decrease use of carbon-based fuels and thereby reduce CO₂ emissions. This contribution to mitigating climate change and its consequences ensues an increasing challenge of mismatch between times of energy supply and demand arising for operating an energy system with large shares of VRE. Having identified the mismatch challenge to solving the environmentally relevant problem of too high CO₂ emissions from burning carbon-based fuels for energy generation, solutions are sought after.
