Sentences with phrase «peak load generation»

It is NOW that the supposed «greenhouse issues» should be removed, being unrealistic in the «inferences» they have presented to begin with, or there WILL be Uranium installed as the major backbone Peak Load generation fuel with the Metal Wire grid.

Not exact matches

Large price spikes immediately before and after mid-day periods when both utility - scale and distributed solar generation reaches its peak level suggest a need for dispatchable generation sources to help cover ramping periods, when the need for power from the grid to meet load is rapidly changing.

This has knocked about 171 megawatts of power generation from the grid and is projected to cause at least six hours of daily load shedding during the monsoon season — Nepal's peak power producing period.

In the California Independent System Operator's (CAISO) Summer Loads & Resource Assessment, CAISO noted that the generation supply was expected to be adequate in order to meet peak electrical demand requirements in spite of drought - related concerns, in part because of recent renewable and natural gas capacity additions.

As long as solar is a relatively small part of the mix, it actually helps level the load curve, because demand is so much higher during the day than at night, and particularly if you have a lot of nuclear in the mix, solar will reduce the need for peaking generation.

This is particularly relevant for power systems where the peak load is expected to increase at the same time as conventional power plants to be replaced by intermittent renewable power generation.

Lastly, in a grid with 100 % renewable power production, the generation capacity would need to be ten times larger than the peak load, and excess electricity would surpass the EU annual electricity consumption.

In the case of a grid with 80 % renewables, the generation capacity needs to be six times larger than the peak load, while the excess electricity would be equal to 60 % of the EU's current annual electricity consumption.

(B) Megawatts subject to the ability of a load - serving entity to call on demand response programs, smart appliances, smart electricity or energy storage devices, distributed generation resources on the entity's customers» premises, or other measures directly capable of actively, controllably, reliably, and dynamically reducing peak demand («dynamic peak management control»).

-- Nothing in this section diminishes or supersedes any authority of a State or political subdivision of a State to adopt or enforce any law or regulation respecting peak demand management, demand response, distributed energy storage, use of distributed generation, or the regulation of load - serving entities.

But the U.S. needs a diversified fuel mix portfolio on all of its electricity generation resources to meet base load, intermediate load, and peaking loads.

Indeed, in New England, while wind and solar contributed less than 5 % of generation at peak load, the region's 6,200 MW of oil capable power stations contributed around 30 % of peak load on every single day of the storm, consuming on average 160,000 barrels of oil per day (p. 10), a total of 2 million barrels over the storm (p. 4).

Pumped hydro is 99 + % of grid storage, and is used for time shifting dispatchable generation to handle peak loads which the grid can not average.

Smart charging reduces the power difference between load and generation during peak curtailment, therefore reducing the power capacity of SES required compared to immediate charging.

-- Nothing in this section diminishes any authority of a State or political subdivision of a State to adopt or enforce any law (including regulations) that increases electricity grid efficiency, smart grid and distributed generation deployment, dynamic peak management control, demand response and distributed storage, or the regulation of load - serving entities.

The report is required to include the percentage net peak load energy from fossil fuel generation and the commission's efforts to reduce it.

Wind power and solar energy, because of their intermittency and unpredictability, require back - up generation, especially during peak - load capacity, and that has generally entailed the construction of natural - gas plants.

«An aggregated fleet of vehicles or chargers can act as a [demand response] resource, shifting load in response to price signals or operational needs; for example, vehicle charging could be shifted to the middle of the day to absorb high levels of solar generation and shifted away from evening hours when solar generation disappears and system net load peaks.»

Previously, solar power plants had depended on back up energy plants powered by carbon emitting fuels because a solar system's peak generation hours do not coincide with the utility's peak load hours after 5 p.m. Low sunlight meant low energy generation, and this challenge scaled back the environmental benefits of solar plants.

The California Independent System Operator (CAISO)-- the electric system operator for most of the state — will also contend with the normal challenges of managing this complex system including: dry to moderate drought conditions in much of the state, an increasing amount of variable generation from renewable sources, and the challenge of importing about 23 % of its peak system load from sources outside CAISO.

While the need for nuclear power is absolutely critical in meeting our base load requirements (and reducing CO2 emissions, and reducing fuel risk by having a diversified generation portfolio of power plants)-- peaking load and generation options to meet this load (which solar currently fits into) is important also.

Peak load month: The month of greatest plant electrical generation during the winter heating season (Oct - Mar) and summer cooling season (Apr - Sept), respectively.

We'll have to see how much that removes peak load, when generation is most costly.

For the 2020 Medium scenario the countries studied showed an average annual wind capacity factor of 23 — 25 %, rising to 30 — 40 %, when considering power production during the 100 highest peak load situations — in almost all the cases studied, it was found that wind generation produces more than average during peak load hours.
