Sentences with phrase «peak load hours»

For the 2020 Medium scenario the countries studied showed an average annual wind capacity factor of 23 — 25 %, rising to 30 — 40 %, when considering power production during the 100 highest peak load situations — in almost all the cases studied, it was found that wind generation produces more than average during peak load hours.

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.

Its new approach requires that «a certain percent of energy delivered to customers during peak load hours must be derived from clean energy sources.»

Not exact matches

It loads up on energy from the sun and from the electric grid during off - peak hours.

A Powerpack system enables StubHub to store electricity during off - peak times, when the grid is more capable and favors delivering excess electricity, then discharge to the stadium during peak evening hours when the grid is under its heaviest load.

This has knocked about 171 megawatts of power generation from the grid and is projected to cause at least six hours of daily load shedding during the monsoon season — Nepal's peak power producing period.

I think, to spur its development, we need electricity pricing that encourages investment in load - shifting, a guaranteed return for delivering a megawatt - hour at peak demand for more than it costs at the time of peak excess supply.

Protect energy retailers from energy price peaks by facilitating access to stored energy and interruptible loads through automatically discharging energy or removing demand, to reduce costs during peak price hours.

They just put 377 megawatts of solar on grid at Ivanpah, which needs more than 8 hours of backup PLUS more for peaking morning and evening loads.

Richter said his biggest disagreement with Lovins was in energy storage and the need to meet peak load demands versus base load demands — neither solar nor wind can meet energy demand all hours of the day.

In their program, certification required hitting an annual load at or below 4.75 thousand BTU per square foot per year or a peak load of 3.17 thousand BTU per hour per square foot.

The peak load time period is intentionally variable and built around the hour of each day that has the highest peak demand, Zingale said.

Basic load power stations are working 24 hours a day, cant they stop generating electricity at off - peak time and generate more electricity at peak time?

«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.

However, energy price arbitrage and other applications such as peak load reduction which could require multiple hours of storage may still be some way off from being economically viable in many cases, Regen found.
