Managing Peak Load in the Past, Present, and Future: Challenges and Opportunities for a Flexible Energy Future 管理过去、现在和未来的峰值负荷：灵活能源未来的挑战和机遇

{"title":"Managing Peak Load in the Past, Present, and Future: Challenges and Opportunities for a Flexible Energy Future","authors":"Eric Van Orden,&nbsp;Uroš Simović","doi":"10.1002/gas.22354","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/gas.22354","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Taken at face value, peak load management involves controlling or influencing the time of day when electricity is used in homes, businesses, and public facilities. The desire to reduce peak electricity use has been based on the availability of generation resources and their associated costs. During periods of high electricity demand, retail energy providers, including distribution utilities, purchase power from generation sources that are less efficient than baseload generation resources such as hydro, nuclear, or coal. Operating the electrical grid has never been simple, but today the balance of supply and demand is getting more complex. On the supply side, the increasing penetration of renewable and distributed energy sources, such as solar and wind power, makes peak load management more complex. These sources are inherently intermittent, meaning that power generation cannot always be scheduled to meet demand. Additionally, electrification of the buildings and transportation sectors is changing the load profiles of customers and the regions of a distribution utility's service area. Yet, the rise of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as rooftop solar and battery storage, has created both opportunities and challenges for grid operators. Peak load management is rapidly evolving from past practices, with new use cases, economic drivers, hardware and software, and information technologies playing an increasingly important role. A cleaner energy future, while critical to our society and the environment, is not without increasing cost pressures, economic risks, and reliability challenges from extreme weather events. While we know where we are going, it is not exactly clear how we will get there. Nonetheless, the emphasis on peak load management will only increase in scale and sophistication. To better predict and prepare for the rapidly changing energy landscape, this editorial discusses the past and present state of peak load management and how it might be evolving into more flexible load management.</p>","PeriodicalId":100259,"journal":{"name":"Climate and Energy","volume":"39 12","pages":"15-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50156167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A resilient and high-performing electric system remains the backbone of our society and economic prosperity. While attempting to maintain reliability, improve safety, and also manage costs, distribution utilities find themselves working to meet decarbonation goals mandated by executive branches at both the state and federal level, congress and state legislatures, and regulators. In order to meet these goals efficiently and effectively, which can often be in conflict with one another, utilities are investing in technologies to digitize their enterprise and create a digital experience for employees and customers. Severe weather events are the most common cause of prolonged power outages and electric infrastructure disruptions. Between 2000 and 2001, approximately 83 percent of reported major outages in the US were attributed to weather-related events.
