  • the supply from the intermittent source 114 can be delivered to a specific load or loads on the power grid 102 by providing an average amount of power distributed over more than one time bin for supply.
  • This allows the supplier of power from the intermittent source 114 to associate the characteristics of their source in time and capacity to the consumer and formulate a contract to supply energy to the consumer on the basis of e.g. a maximum and minimum amount of power that may be delivered in any given time interval to the consumer, or a minimum average amount of power that can be delivered over a specified time period spanning at least more than one time interval.
  • the supplier can in addition use an adjusted transaction for the power on a look back basis by receiving or delivering the consumer with energy settlement transactions on the basis of any modification of the actual supply of power over the look back period as compared to the projected supplies of power associated with specific time intervals, or with a combination of those intervals.

  • industrial and commercial activities are typically performed during normal business hours, and thus the energy that is demanded from these activities is positively correlated in time to the supply of Solar PV power (on average). It is noted that by accounting for a clearness index and an irradiance index, the total intermittency of a Solar PV supply source can be determined on average for any given time bin for the supply of power to a load.
