Coping with prolonged periods of low availability of wind and solar power (Dunkelflaute) is a key challenge for realizing decarbonized energy systems based on renewable energy.
“Of particular concern are long-lasting extreme weather events, also referred to as “VRE droughts” or “Dunkelflaute”, which are characterized by an overall very low availability of VRE sources21–23.”
From Long-duration electricity storage needs for coping with Dunkelflaute events in Europe (2026) · cites this paper as [23]
The Introduction describes energy droughts as periods of low renewable electricity production, and the Discussion and conclusions identifies prolonged shortages as a challenge for energy management. But the paper does not characterize these periods as necessarily involving low availability of both wind and solar power; its discussion of compounding conditions notes that some occur with increased solar radiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
