If the system were designed to encourage the use of solar to cover peak load, the cost savings would be substantial, he says.

--(1) Peak demand reduction goals may be established for an individual load - serving entity, or, at the determination of a State, tribal, or regional entity, by that State, tribal, or regional entity for a larger region that shares a common system peak demand and for which peak demand reduction measures would offer regional benePeak demand reduction goals may be established for an individual load - serving entity, or, at the determination of a State, tribal, or regional entity, by that State, tribal, or regional entity for a larger region that shares a common system peak demand and for which peak demand reduction measures would offer regional benepeak demand and for which peak demand reduction measures would offer regional benepeak demand reduction measures would offer regional benefit.

From providing flexible resources to enable widespread deployment of renewable energy resources, to improving grid resiliency and efficiency, to shifting peak loads and reducing harmful emissions, storage brings a multitude of benefits to the grid that are not being fully valued in our electric system today.

PacifiCorp, a large utility in the northwestern United States, operates a system with a peak load of 8,300 MW that is expected to grow to 10,000 MW over the next decade.

It is primarily a thermal system in the Mid - Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP) region with a summer peak load in excess of 2300 MW, growing at 3 % -4 % per year..

In the new system, rather than having «always - on» baseload (e.g. nuclear) plants, and then following any extra load with peaking plants (usually gas), in the new system, variable loads and variable supply (from renewables) are balanced via a smart grid with demand - side measures, load peak shaving / delay, energy storage, and backup sources.

Seeking ways to optimise the use of clean energy, California network operator CAISO (California Independent System Operator) is considering the introduction of a load - shifting product that would incentivise storing peak energy for later use.

«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.»

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.

Coal plants operating between their peak and minimum values can provide load following capability to the system.

With the unofficial start of summer just around the corner, utilities and independent system operators are looking for ways to relieve peak loads and congestion on the electricity grid for the coming season and down the road.
