The correct answer is option 3):(Thermal power plant)

Concept:

  • The major shortcoming of effectively utilizing renewable energy resources is the lack of proper electrical storage technology
  • The fact that wind, solar, and Tidal don’t produce energy around the clock is certainly a major disadvantage
  • The grid operator uses a three-phase planning process to ensure power plants produce the right amount of electricity at the right time to consistently and reliably meet electric demand
  • Intermittent renewables are challenging because they disrupt the conventional methods for planning the daily operation of the electric grid. Their power fluctuates over multiple time horizons, forcing the grid operator to adjust its day-ahead, hour-ahead, and real-time operating procedures.
  • So the  conventional thermal power plant is the choice of power grid operator  considering the capability to generate power at a predictable time​
