Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Dispatchable generation" in English language version.
Most conventional energy sources are dispatchable, meaning that they can be turned on or off according to the demand for electricity. The amount of electricity they produce can also be turned up or down so that supply of electricity matches the amount demanded by users. By contrast, most renewable energy sources are non-dispatchable.
