  • Abstract
    The absorption of energy from intermittent resources (IR) into the existing storage in a system is described. A subsequent reshaping of this energy to sell it as firm energy is possible by exploiting the diversity in demands and generations. An algorithm to optimize the installations of IR to maximize firm sales is presented
