Sentences with phrase «peak generation»

It allows renewable sources such as wind and solar power to operate at full capacity during peak generation periods by storing excess energy until it is needed to meet later demand.

At peak generation, this solar facility's electricity output would rival that of five large nuclear power plants.

This will allow solar energy generators to store energy during peak generation times, and use the stored energy at peak price times.

For example, as higher levels of solar power penetration occur, several utilities have noted a trend moving towards higher winter peak generation demand.

By 1990, PIFUA had been repealed and the natural gas markets had been deregulated, allowing more opportunities for substitution between petroleum and natural gas as a fuel for peaking generation.

Commissioned in April 2011, the Bikaner eSolar Tower only achieved 1.7 MW peak generation of the 2.5 MW capacity because of the lower than expected Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) and reduced atmospheric visibility according to the inset ACME «Operating Indian Field Condition» slide.

The credits are derived from the avoided cost of fossil fuel during peak generation hours measured from July 2014 to June 2015.

Efficiency can also improve system reliability and allow utilities to reduce or manage the demand on their systems — in some cases offsetting the need to add new peak generation capacity.

At its peak consumption, Ghana needs about 2,200 megawatts, which is generally matched by the country's available peak generation which stands at 2,400.

Solar - generated electricity is particularly attractive in desert regions such as the U.S. Southwest because peak generation meshes nicely with peak air conditioning use.

The cost of offshore wind energy remains a significant issue, however, as we have pointed out in previous analysis, offshore wind energy in the Southeast is also a very high - value power, with the ability to offset more expensive summer peaking generation.

Generators relied upon to meet the «peaks» on the highest demand days are referred to as peaking generation.

The European Commission says more interconnections between countries can reduce the need for investment in peak generation capacity and cut generation costs, saving consumers between 12 and 40 billion euros by 2030.

Previously, solar power plants had depended on back up energy plants powered by carbon emitting fuels because a solar system's peak generation hours do not coincide with the utility's peak load hours after 5 p.m. Low sunlight meant low energy generation, and this challenge scaled back the environmental benefits of solar plants.

These include a grid management system to shift times of demand to better match with timing of power supply, and «over-sizing» peak generation capacity to minimize times when available power is less than demand.
