The report is required to include the percentage
net peak load energy from fossil fuel generation and the commission's efforts to reduce it.
The Net Load Peak Energy Bill would require the CPUC and the California Energy Commission (CEC) to work with CAISO to set up, by the end of 2019, «policies or procedures» through which LSEs meet «
net peak load» energy and reliability needs «while minimizing the use of fossil fuels and utilizing low - carbon technologies and electrical grid management strategies.»
Not exact matches
In contrast, Schellenberg et al. (2013) found that
peak knee
net joint moment during the deadlift did not increase with increasing
load (from 25 % to 50 % of bodyweight).
The
peak knee
net joint moment during straight bar deadlifts was lower than during hexagonal bar deadlifts with the same absolute
load.
Comparing the deadlift with the good morning, Schellenberg et al. (2013) found that
peak L4 - L5
net joint moment during the deadlift was similar during the good morning and the deadlift (using the same absolute
load).
The bill offers the CPUC and the CEC the option of setting «targets or requirements for energy technology that minimizes the percent of
load met by fossil fuels during
net -
load peak energy demand and maximizes the use of low - carbon technologies.»
Four other utilities in the state are nearing the cap on
net metering (0.5 percent of
peak load).
«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.»
What's especially unfortunate is that the sun tends to go down just before the evening
peak of demand, which means
net load goes from very low to very high, very quickly (13,000 MW in three hours, in the CAISO example), and then down low again.
The duck curve shows a major drop in electric
load in midday when solar hits its
peak, swamping the grid at a period of low demand and potentially pushing
net load below the point where older baseload plants can ramp down to compensate.
A zero
net energy building merges highly energy - efficient building construction, state - of - the - art appliances and lighting systems, and high performance windows to reduce a building's
load and
peak requirements and can include on - site solar water heating and renewable energy, such as solar photovoltaic, to meet remaining energy needs.
SB 338 requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and all other locally owned utilities to start planning to meet their
net -
load peak energy and reliability needs with alternatives to fossil - fuel generating plants, while also providing the electricity at the lowest cost to consumers.
