The new system is also designed to allow a PHEV to use its battery as an energy storage device, enabling the car to hold electrical energy in the battery while the grid has surplus power (during off - peak hours, for example) and contribute its surplus energy back to the grid when the latter needs more power to meet peak demand, Su says.

During the day, when demand for electricity is higher, power will be generated by both the wind turbines and water flowing from the upper reservoir to the lower.

The steam - powered «aeolipile» was invented by Hero of Alexandria in Roman Egypt during the 1st century AD, but it wasn't until some 1700 years later that the steam engine as we know it emerged, thanks to better construction materials, plentiful fuel and, critically, growing industrial demand for an alternative source of power.

Although it will not be available on the US models at the time of launch, the Brake Energy Regeneration feature ensures that the output coming from the engine is converted primarily into drive power, with electricity being generated for the on - board network only when the engine's drive power is not in demand; for example, when the car is rolling freely in overrun (engine braking) or during application of the brakes.

«Thanks to abundant supplies and insatiable demand for power from emerging markets, coal met nearly half of the rise in global energy demand during the first decade of the 21st Century,» said IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven.

For example, if nuclear is providing 20 % of electric generation, it can be run at steady baseline, maximizing fuel efficiency, while all the other variable demand can be met with solar and wind based power that has been fed into storage systems during the peak periods.

In explaining the value of BrightSource Energy's concentrating solar power (CSP) plants with thermal energy storage (TES) capability, the company's Vice President for Government Affairs and Communications Joe Desmond described a 2006 California «heat storm» during which «the California ISO reached its all - time maximum demand» and had «about 3,000 megawatts of wind available,» but «the amount of wind delivering electricity into the system when it hit its peak demand was 1 percent.»

... For power companies... the vehicles would also draw power mostly during off hours which would improve efficiency, because power plants can not simply shut down at night as demand diminishes...

The logic is this will save utilities money by keeping dirty gas - fired power plants offline during peak energy demand times because it is expensive to fire them up daily for just a few hours of additional energy.

Auxiliary generator: A generator at the electric plant site that provides power for the operation of the electrical generating equipment itself, including related demands such as plant lighting, during periods when the electric plant is not operating and power is unavailable from the grid.

As has often been noted on this website, businesses in the US are levied monthly charges for their electricity based on their use of grid power during peak times, known as demand charges.

Power plants with on - site fuel have gone offline for other reasons during extreme weather events, Chen said, while demand response and wind energy can still perform.

This reflected several factors, including a lower growth rate for electric power demand in the 1980s 1 and capacity overbuilding during the 1970s.

I imagine that this would be ideal for use in generating power for release into the grid during short duration peaks of very high demand.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal op - ed, this is so generous that during hours of low demand wind producers actually pay grid operators to accept their power, just to get the tax break (which can be «carried forward» and used against future tax liabilities for up to 20 years).

The basic premise of demand response — utilities charge large energy users a lower rate year - round in exchange for powering down during peak hours — has existed for decades.

For example, nighttime energy demand is much lower than during the day, and yet we waste a great deal of energy from coal and nuclear power plants, which are difficult to power up quickly, and are thus left running at high capacity even when demand is low.

This reflects both seasonal growth and added renewable generation capacity, as well as maintenance and refueling schedules for nuclear power plants, which normally undergo maintenance during spring and fall months, when overall electricity demand is lower.

In California, new utility time - of - use rates and rising demand fees that kick in during mid-afternoon and early evening hours provide an incentive for enterprising businesses to find a way to cut their use of utility power from the grid during those times.

On many days, pipeline capacity is sufficient for both the local gas utilities and the natural - gas - fired power plants, but during the coldest weeks of the year, this natural gas delivery infrastructure can't meet all the demand for natural gas for both home heating and power generation.

Solar can't produce electricity at night, but as we've seen in Germany and Australia it doesn't take a lot of solar capacity to start pushing down electricty prices during the day and that is very bad for the economics of nuclear power as it's a high capital cost, low fuel cost source of energy and reducing output during periods of low demand doesn't do much to reduce costs.

During this shift, the buffer between peak demand for power and the maximum that can be generated (the capacity margin) is expected to shrink.
