A dunkelflaute of three days in Germany 2023 (wind in light blue and solar in yellow).

In the renewable energy sector, a dunkelflaute (Шаблон:IPA-de, Шаблон:Literal translation, plural dunkelflauten) is a period of time in which little or no energy can be generated with wind and solar power, because there is neither wind nor sunlight. In meteorology, this is known as anticyclonic gloom.Шаблон:Sfn

Meteorology

Unlike a typical anticyclone, dunkelflauten are associated not with clear skies, but with very dense cloud cover (0.7–0.9), consisting of stratus, stratocumulus, and fog.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:As of there is no agreed quantitative definition of dunkelflaute. Li et al. define it as wind and solar both below 20% of capacity during a particular 60-minute period. High albedo of low-level stratocumulus clouds in particularШаблон:Sndsometimes the cloud base height is just 400 metersШаблон:Sndcan reduce solar irradiation by half.Шаблон:Sfn

In the north of Europe, dunkelflauten originate from a static high-pressure system that causes an extremely weak wind combined with overcast weather with stratus or stratocumulus clouds.Шаблон:Sfn There are 2–10 dunkelflaute events per year.Шаблон:Sfn Most of these events occur from October to February; typically 50 to 150 hours per year, a single event usually lasts up to 24 hours.Шаблон:Sfn

In Japan, on the other hand, dunkelflauten are seen in summer and winter. The former is caused by stationary fronts in early summer and autumn rainy seasons (called Baiu and Akisame, respectively), while the latter is caused by arrivals of south-coast cyclones.

Renewable energy effects

These periods are a big issue in energy infrastructure if a significant amount of electricity is generated by solar and wind power. Dunkelflauten can occur simultaneously over a very large region, but are less correlated between geographically distant regions, so multi-national power grid schemes can be helpful.Шаблон:Sfn Events that last more than two days over most of Europe happen about every five years. To ensure power during such periods flexible energy sources may be used, energy may be imported, and demand may be adjusted.

For alternative energy sources, countries use fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), hydroelectricity or nuclear power and, less often, energy storage to prevent power outages. Long-term solutions include designing electricity markets to incentivise clean flexible power. A group of countries is following on from Mission Innovation to work together to solve the problem in a clean, low-carbon way by 2030, including looking into carbon capture and storage and the hydrogen economy as possible parts of the solution.
