Time-of-Use Rate Plans

Maximize savings with Time-of-Use plans. Lower demand, lower rates. Time-of-Use rate plans are based on: How much energy you use. When you use it. Get lower energy rates when energy demand is low. Shift energy use to partial- or off-peak times. Rates and demand are lower during partial-peak or off-peak hours of the day.

Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), also known as inter-seasonal thermal energy storage, is the storage of heat or cold for periods of up to several months. The thermal energy can be collected whenever it is available and be used whenever needed, such as in the opposing season. For example, heat from solar collectors or waste heat from air conditioning equipment can be gathered in hot months for space heating use when needed, including during winter months. …

Seasonal Storage

3.15.4.1 Fundamental options of seasonal energy storage. Energy storage of different forms of thermal energy is a very efficient way of energy conservation. Energy storage can very much improve the efficiency of the whole thermal process and the rate of useful energy conversion. Heat supply and demand is often at quite different times.

Natural gas use features two seasonal peaks per year

A smaller peak occurs during the winter, while the spring and fall seasons have the lowest consumption of natural gas for electric power. Monthly data for 2010 through 2014 show deliveries of natural gas to the electric power sector averaged 23 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), ranging from about 30 Bcf/d in the summer peak to 16 Bcf/d in the spring …

Peak demand

Peak demand. Peak demand on an electrical grid is the highest electrical power demand that has occurred over a specified time period (Gönen 2008). Peak demand is typically characterized as annual, daily or seasonal and has the unit of power. [1] Peak demand, peak load or on-peak are terms used in energy demand management describing a …

Solar Panel Performance: Winter vs Summer (Guide 2023)

In the winter, solar panels can perform better on colder, sunnier days. On the other hand, in the summer, solar panels may be subject to efficiency losses because of high temperatures. While summer may be ideal for some areas, winter could be the better season for others.

Passive thermal energy storage, part 1: Design concepts and …

Abstract. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can be designed in order to maximize their impact on a specific design target, such as reducing indoor temperature diurnal swings. Identifying the foremost design objective (s) is highly important since different design objectives result in distinct optimal designs.

Effectiveness of Solar Panels During the Winter Months

A widespread misconception is that solar panels are hardly effective during the winter season. Although it is true that the energy output of solar panels is at its peak when exposed to direct sunlight and UV rays, the temperature does not play a large role in the solar panel''s overall performance.
