Flexibility in different forms is at the forefront of energy publications and conferences. Fashionable for 10 years, the subject does not seem to run out of steam; better, flexibilities even appear today as an essential source of income. The fever of the actors in this […]
Many words refer to what seems to be an action, a management of the demand for electricity: flexibility, demand management, peak shaving, load shedding. Do they refer to the same actions? Are these actions complementary or antagonistic? Or are they the evolution in time of […]
In terms of electricity, energy efficiency, the emergence of intermittent energies (solar, wind), the increasing difficulty of balancing networks, the desire to reduce the peak loads to limit investments in complementary capacities dedicated to these peaks of consumption, have increased the need to manage demand. […]
Historically, demand response has been designed as load shedding, a response to various problems encountered by power distribution networks: reduction of the peak consumption, reduction of congestions, avoidance of blackout. It consisted of interrupting some loads on command or on schedule at appropriate times. Although […]
A wind of technological renewal is blowing strongly on the final energy sector today. The novelties succeed one another and worry the most traditional actors: demand response, IoT, blockchain, storage, data security. The boldest energy companies test them, one after the other, to evaluate their […]
In several European countries, residential demand response aggregators present themselves as the pioneers of a promising mechanism of flexibility in demand! They claim they have a few thousand customers ie a tiny fraction of the market! Residential demand response is today a “success” in North […]
In terms of electricity production, a certain blend of technologies is expected to meet the different needs of modulation. Some technologies are used as the basis of the consumption profile and provide a “ribbon” of production that is not designed to be modular: the technologies […]
For many observers, sometimes even warned, the electrical aggregator is this new actor, able to shed significant loads on request of a transport system operator (TSO). This vision describes the visible part of the iceberg that is an aggregator. The reality is far more complex […]
The notion of demand response sends back to us most of the time to the answers brought to the mechanisms of load balancing. These mechanisms, generally managed by the transmission system operator, can have several supports: adjustment mechanism, capacity market. They can give rise to […]
