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.

«Microgrids have several advantages for the electricity grid; for example, they can provide electricity during peak - usage hours and therefore forestall the need for expensive upgrades in central generation, transmission, and distribution systems.

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.

While New England remains a summer peaking electricity system (with a forecasted 2018 summer peak around 25 percent higher than the forecasted 2018/2019 winter peak), winter peak forecasts are important for assessing the impacts of electric system reliability during a period when much of New England's energy infrastructure is dedicated to space heating (i.e., when interstate natural gas pipelines are used both for electricity generation and for heating homes and businesses).

Around 25 per cent of electricity bills are driven by these «super peaks», because we built infrastructure to meet peak demand and generation is more expensive during peaks.

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.

Generally the solar they sell is peak rate power — generated when it is most needed, thus it doesn't impact on baseload power generation, but what it does do is reduce the need for far more expensive and carbon producing capacity to sit idle during off peak periods.

Thus, OSW generation could help offset the exceptionally high demand peaks experienced around 6:00 p.m. during summer months, which require grid operators to dispatch costly (and often inefficient) generation assets.

During peak periods when the pumped storage produces power it is the roughly equivalent of having a nuclear power plant for peaking purposes only and is preferable to coal fired or gas fired peaking generation.
