The best type of intermittent energy is pumped energy. Pumped energy is when water is pumped up into a dam during a period of low energy consumption (generally at night) and is stored there until a period of high energy usage. When the electricity is required, the water is released and the power fed into the electrical supply. This makes pumped energy controlled unlike other forms such as tidal power where the energy is available twice daily at set times only.

Is geothermal energy intermittent?
Geothermal energy. Heat from deep under the ground remains constant, not intermittent, so geothermal plants that drill deep into the hot layers will have constant power.Hydro and wave energy is also constant. Other alternative energy sources (solar, wind, tides) are all intermittent, as power is only available at particular times, and so need energy storage.
Which is the best energy resource?
Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.
What alternative energy sources would be best for a town in a desert surrounded by mountains?
the petroleum energy
What alternative energy sources are not intermittent and do not require energy storage?
Not intermittent:Hydro-electricity. The store of water behind the dam means that power can be generated all the time.Wave energy. Ocean waves are constantly moving. Machines that harness the up-and-down movement, as well as the side-to-side movement, mean that power can be gathered constantly.Geothermal energy. Heat from deep under the ground remains constant, so geothermal plants that drill deep into the hot layers will have constant power.Other alternative energy sources (solar, wind, tides) are all intermittent, as power is only available at particular times, and so need energy storage.

Is geothermal the best energy use?
Best? I am unsure what the parameters are that would be used to measure "best". It sure makes sense over many of the other alternative energy sources.
What are the conventional and non conventional energy sources in the Philippines?

What are the different energy sources that are used to deliver energy to your community?
The energy sources that I am most excited about all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, and Hydroelectric Energy sources.
What is the best definition of energy assessment?
an analysis of the hazardous energy types and energy magnitudes associated with the equipment, machinery or system and the means of isolation and control of these energy sources
Is Nuclear power the best source for clean electricity?
While there are no electricity sources that are one hundred percent clean for the environment, nuclear energy is close to the top of best energy sources. While nuclear energy will give a radioactive material, there are no dangerous air emissions, because nuclear energy gives off steam.
