Sentences with phrase «high demand on the grid»

Demand response (DR) measures reduce or shift energy consumption during periods of high demand on the grid.

Not exact matches

But conditions don't seem nearly as ripe for approving such investments and infrastructure in more crowded regions, where demand for electricity is highest, according to Matt Wald's latest article on wind and the grid.

Higher PV output at this time of day is often beneficial to grid operators working to increase electric supply to balance high levels of demand, but customers generally will not see this benefit unless they are on time - of - use electric rates.

The system produces more than enough electricity to power Ad Astra's labs on a daily basis, and excess electricity is stored on ICE's power grid for later use in experiments with high demand.

The utilities have been agitating against solar PV because it is reducing demand on the grid, particularly in daytime hours when generators could normally generate higher revenues from increased demand.

New research suggests that although global warming will lower demand in some places in winter, in high summer on the hottest days the demand for air conditioning could at times be so great that the electricity supply grid would not cope.

(2) the goal described in paragraph (1) can be met or exceeded by lessening the difference between the periods of lowest and highest electricity demand, with particular focus on reducing the frequency and severity of peak demand periods, using smart grid and demand response technologies, practices, and activities, including --

Parker Gallant and Scott Luft have both looked at the report from the Independent Electricity System Operator or IESO, and found that not only was demand at an all - time low that month (the lowest since the IESO began keeping records) but also that curtailed wind power (power we pay the wind power developers for, but do not accept on the grid because it isn't needed) was at an all - time high.

One question that would remain to be addressed in the future is that of very high rates of solar power on the grid, and how PG&E and the California grid (Cal ISO) would manage the peaks and valleys of electricity production and demand.

Otherwise we may have to curtail, and waste, valuable output from some of our wind farms when the wind is high, but demand is low - especially if there is also a lot of inflexible nuclear on the grid.

With the higher energy demands of the computer, I doubt this will make you independent of the power grid, but wouldn't it be nice if you could get just enough charge to pick up your emails when you are on tour?

High levels of renewable generation also make demands on the existing grid — demands that it was not designed to cope with, such as transporting large amounts of wind power within a country, or coping with — as in Germany — big numbers of solar modules all feeding current into the grid (most likely the distribution grid, which was not designed for two - way traffic).

Energy storage can save power generated from clean energy systems such as solar, wind and combined heat and power (CHP) for later use, enabling buildings to reduce their reliance on the power grid during peak demand periods when electricity rates are the highest.

TOU rates, which charge higher prices for electricity during periods of higher demand, encourage customers to adjust their consumption to reduce strain on the electric grid.

That's because computerized controls in one's home and on appliances can be set to respond to signals from energy providers to minimize electricity consumption at times when the power grid is under stress from high demand.
