Difference between Primary energy and Variable renewable energy

Primary energy vs. Variable renewable energy

Primary energy (PE) is the energy found in nature that has not been subjected to any human engineered conversion process. Variable renewable energy (VRE) or intermittent renewable energy sources (IRES) are renewable energy sources that are not dispatchable due to their fluctuating nature, such as wind power and solar power, as opposed to controllable renewable energy sources, such as dammed hydroelectricity or bioenergy, or relatively constant sources, such as geothermal power.

Similarities between Primary energy and Variable renewable energy

Primary energy and Variable renewable energy have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Hydroelectricity, Renewable energy, Solar energy, Solar power, Solar power tower, Tidal power, Wind power.

Hydroelectricity

Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower (water power).

Solar power

Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power.

Solar power tower

A solar power tower, also known as 'central tower' power plant or 'heliostat' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight.
