It was a
match made in heaven: Major new
demand for
energy infrastructure... and a market that was eager to throw capital at anything promising a high and growing stream of cash.
Through appropriate building design, behavioural change and
demand management (this does not mean living like a cave - man, just using resources efficiently) and appropriate
matching of
energy source with
demand (i.e using solar radiation, not brown coal fired electricity for water heating), it is possible to eliminate these emissions completely.
A final strategy to
match supply to
demand is to store an oversupply of electricity for use when there is not enough renewable
energy available.
«Kennedy Phase I is a first - of - its - kind project in Australia, and it will lead the nation in the deployment of innovative, high reliability renewable
energy capable of closely
matching network power
demand,» said Windlab CEO Roger Price.
By enabling the linking, monitoring, aggregation and control of large numbers of individual pieces of electricity consuming equipment, connectivity allows for
matching demand to the needs of the overall system in real time (Digitalization &
Energy, 2017).
What those who claim «
energy independence» are doing are lumping all forms and sources of
energy into a single bucket, and then asking if the size of that bucket
matches our current
demand.
This should include investment in connecting up grids in different countries and greater support of
demand side response, where
energy users can be rewarded for
matching their
demand to changes in levels of supply.
At the heart of this study is the need to
match energy supplied by wind, water and solar power and storage with what the researchers predict
demand to be in 2050.
In contrast, the modern high - tech approach of
matching energy supply to
energy demand at all times requires a lot of extra infrastructure which makes renewable power production a complex, slow, expensive and unsustainable undertaking.
The opportunity, Touati said, would come from meeting the corporate buyers» renewable
energy demand by
matching them with independent power producers who wanted sell the output of their wind and solar projects, and with utilities looking to hold on to the corporate clients that are their biggest power customers.
Emissions from the current approach of using natural gas to firm the power and «follow the load» (
matching fluctuating
demand with supply) could, on its own, exceed the emission target if California elects to rely predominantly on renewable

This means that California must couple efforts to increase the amount of renewable
energy with another effort to find ways to
match supply and
demand without burning natural gas.
However, these agencies essentially just

While there is a good
match between the
energy generated on - site and the
energy demand this doesn't necessarily present a problem.
This can mitigate the problem, along with other technologies like hydro storage, smart grids that can better

From large - scale
energy storage to smart grids that can
