Sentences with phrase «peak period generation»

Not exact matches

Large price spikes immediately before and after mid-day periods when both utility - scale and distributed solar generation reaches its peak level suggest a need for dispatchable generation sources to help cover ramping periods, when the need for power from the grid to meet load is rapidly changing.

The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has announced that the country will enjoy stable power supply in the coming weeks as Ghana's electricity generation capacity now exceeds demand at peak periods.

The EMG was measured for a 1 - second period between the 2 superimposed doublets, to allow generation of peak forces during the MVC (Figure 3).

I see a compelling argument that, wherever it happens, «Earth - centric» science (as per Walker / Navarro) needs to be given emphasis, particularly as humanity goes through a period of peak population (~ 9 billion) and resource appetites in the next generation or so.

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.

For example, if nuclear is providing 20 % of electric generation, it can be run at steady baseline, maximizing fuel efficiency, while all the other variable demand can be met with solar and wind based power that has been fed into storage systems during the peak periods.

A peaker plant, he said, is built to supplement generation at peak demand periods.

Generation fueled by natural gas and petroleum supplemented the baseload generators during peak and intermediate periods of demand.

(F) Megawatts from a demonstrated and assured minimum of distributed solar electric generation capacity in instances where peak period and peak demand conditions are directly related to solar radiation and accompanying heat.

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.

Naturally, the solar generation has the potential to shave off peak energy consumption in the heat of the day, but it can also be pushed through into high - demand evening hours and can last through cloudy periods.

At the peak of its industrialization, the U.S. added 200 gigawatts of power generation over a 20 - year period.

While New England remains a summer peaking electricity system (with a forecasted 2018 summer peak around 25 percent higher than the forecasted 2018/2019 winter peak), winter peak forecasts are important for assessing the impacts of electric system reliability during a period when much of New England's energy infrastructure is dedicated to space heating (i.e., when interstate natural gas pipelines are used both for electricity generation and for heating homes and businesses).

If the D.C. Circuit decision holds, «competitive generators are likely to maintain a greater premium on generation during peak periods and higher barriers to entry from DSM into any market,» Kellison said.

Generally the solar they sell is peak rate power — generated when it is most needed, thus it doesn't impact on baseload power generation, but what it does do is reduce the need for far more expensive and carbon producing capacity to sit idle during off peak periods.

During peak periods when the pumped storage produces power it is the roughly equivalent of having a nuclear power plant for peaking purposes only and is preferable to coal fired or gas fired peaking generation.

Other provisions in the act — such as tax incentives that encourage the adoption of energy - efficient technologies, a shift to more combined heat and power generation, and the adoption of real - time pricing of electricity (a measure that will discourage optional electricity use during peak demand periods)-- would cut electricity demand enough to avoid building an additional 37 coal - fired power plants.

In general the claim is that renewables or distributed generation is going to «solve» the problem that prices are high during peaking periods and that is unfair to consumers.
