TL;DR: In this article, a method for statistically analysing the relationship between weather and electricity demand for applications to practical load estimating by electricity supply engineers is described. And the characteristics of specific meteorological elements to which the demand has been found to respond are discussed, particularly those affecting heating and lighting demands.
Abstract: A method is described for statistically analysing the relationship between weather and electricity demand for applications to practical load estimating by electricity supply engineers The characteristics of the specific meteorological elements to which the demand has been found to respond are discussed, particularly those affecting heating and lighting demands The thermal-lag factor appropriate to the delay in consumer response to temperature changes and the influence of the cooling power of the wind on heating load are examined In order to assess the lighting load, observations of the atmospheric transmission of light are used to derive a method for reducing cloud and visibility forecasts to their daylight illumination equivalents

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive power management system that includes two control layers is developed in order to operate a microgrid efficiently, the management system should accomplish two tasks: 1) It needs to be adaptive and optimize the microgrid's performance by defining long-term (daily-based) directives or control strategies.
Abstract: Power management of grid-tied microgrids including distributed generations (DGs) and storage devices can be challenging due to the intermittent and uncontrollable nature of many types of DGs, load variations in time, different grid power tariffs, availability of different options to balance the electric supply and demand, and other parameters. In order to operate a microgrid efficiently, the management system should accomplish two tasks. 1) It needs to be adaptive and optimize the microgrid's performance by defining long-term (daily-based) directives or control strategies. 2) The management system should be able to operate and control the microgrid in real time and satisfy all operational constraints. To address the above-mentioned tasks, a comprehensive power management system that includes two control layers is developed in this paper. Concept for the proposed power management policy was demonstrated on an experimental microgrid system composed of lead-acid batteries, photovoltaic (PV) system, 3-kW peak load, and a utility connection.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive method of wind power integration capacity assessment is presented, based on power source composition, load characteristics and load regulation capability, and the impact of wind integration on the reserve capacity is analyzed and the system spinning reserve is calculated based on generation reliability.
Abstract: With the fast development of wind power,the conflict between limited power system regulation capability and increased wind power becomes more and more intense.A comprehensive method of wind power integration capacity assessment is presented,based on power source composition,load characteristics and load regulation capability.Through this method,the impact of wind integration on the reserve capacity is analyzed and the system spinning reserve is calculated based on generation reliability;then wind integration capacity is evaluated according to regulation capability of conventional units.The integration capacity of each month in 2010 is calculated and test results show that the wind integration capacity is much smaller than the planning capacity.At last,measures for maximum wind power integration are put forward according to the wind power curtailment in power grid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the economic feasibility of using NaS battery storage and pumped hydro energy storage for load leveling is investigated for the application of load leveling in a power system, where the storage can be used to flatten the electrical load by charging the storage when the system load is low and discharging the storage for high system load.
Abstract: The benefits provided by energy storage appear to be nearly limitless and this is especially true in regards to power systems. Gas turbine generators are needed to meet peak load demand but operating them is quite expensive. Energy storage can be used to flatten the electrical load by charging the storage when the system load is low and discharging the storage when the system load is high. If the system load is flat enough, the fast response time of gas turbine generators won't be needed. This study investigates the economic feasibility of NaS battery storage and pumped hydro energy storage used for the application of load leveling.
