Second is long-duration energy storage so we can use intermittent sources like solar, even when the sun isn't shining.

其次是长时间的能量储存，这样我们就可以在即使没有阳光的时候使用间歇性的能源，比如太阳能。

Wind and solar energy are intermittent sources.

风能和太阳能是间歇性来源。

Thanks to this disruptive methodology, today in Uruguay, intermittent sources are king.

得益于这种颠覆性的方法，如今在乌拉圭，间歇性来源才是王道。

Many simply weren't designed around intermittent energy sources and can't store large amounts of electricity.

许多根本不是围绕间歇性能源设计的，也不能储存大量电力。

Though still more expensive than plants that burn fossil fuels, they can be built anywhere and don’t depend on intermittent energy sources like the sun or wind.

虽然仍比燃烧化石燃料的电厂昂贵，但它们可以建在任何地方，并且不需依赖像太阳 或风这样的间歇性能源。

This type of price model also favors intermittent sources of electricity like wind and solar which would struggle to compete in a market that valued firm capacity.

这种类型的价格模型也有利于风能和太阳能等间歇性电力来源，这些电力在重视固定容量的市场中难以竞争。

She talks about how it's becoming critical not only for reliability, but to deal with these intermittent energy sources that are in very different locations than the actual uses of the power.

她描述到，电网不仅对电力稳定性变得重要，在处理间歇性能源方面也很关键，因为电力的来源可能和实际用电的地点相隔甚远。

The upshot, the firm hopes, will be a cheaper reactor that is better suited to power grids that will increasingly be dominated by intermittent sources of energy such as wind turbines and solar panels.

该公司希望，其结果将是一种更便宜的反应堆，更适合电网，而电网将越来越多地由断断续续的能源(如风力涡轮机和太阳能电池板)主导。

Our academics worked for years to design a groundbreaking software to handle energy dispatch, specifically designed to manage intermittent sources such as wind and solar, but also how to use water.

我们的学者多年来致力于设计一款突破性的软件来处理能源调度，专门用于管理风能和太阳能等间歇性能源，以及如何使用水。

The story told by the companies is of supplying " baseline" power in support of intermittent sources such as solar and wind—and doing so in a way that avoids the widespread public fear of an otherwise-obvious alternative, nuclear fission.

这些公司讲述的故事是提供“基准”电力以支持太阳能和风能等间歇性能源——并且这样做的方式避免了公众对核裂变这一显而易见的替代方案的广泛恐惧。
