Energy storage is becoming ever more important as the share of variable sources of energy like solar and wind power increases.
Another reason of rising importance is to support the increasing amount of "variable" sources of power from renewables, particularly wind energy which are being connected to the electrical grid [H. Holttinen, Estimating the impacts of wind on power systems, Modern Power Systems, 28 (5) (2008) 49 52].
The role of soils having a fragipan and/or strongly contrasting clay layer in generating surface runoff, especially in the context of variable-source-area hydrology at landscape and/or watershed scales, is poorly understood.
West, who today is a Distinguished Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, spent several years studying an enormous array of variables— sourced from Census Bureau data, government web sites, libraries and elsewhere— and developed a few simple, mathematical equations to explain how cities work.
It has long been clear that energy storage is a priority to enable a whole range of cleantech innovation, from vehicle electrification to utility-scale storage for variable sources of power.

CIAO provides some tools to perform rudimentary timing analysis that can be used to determine the periodicity of a variable source.
The mean squares were obtained by dividing the sum of the squares of each of the variable sources, the model and the error variance, by the respective degree of freedom.
In addition, pretreatment conditions must be tailor-made to the specific chemical and structural composition of the variable, sources of lignocellulosic biomass.
In addition, the Curiosity rover has found an active, underground and variable source of methane, a possible signature of life today.
Normally, DTF is larger than 0.98 but when telemetry is saturated during periods of high background or variable source emission it can be much less.
