  2. Load management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_management

    Load management allows utilities to reduce demand for electricity during peak usage times (peak shaving), which can, in turn, reduce costs by eliminating the need for peaking power plants. In addition, some peaking power plants can take more than an hour to bring on-line which makes load management even more critical should a plant go off-line ...

  3. Grain LNG Terminal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_LNG_Terminal

    This facilitated a variety of shippers to bring LNG from around the world into the UK market. To exploit this position National Grid Grain LNG Ltd was formed in 2002 to develop the Isle of Grain site from a peak-shaving plant into an LNG import, storage, and enhanced regasification facility. Development and expansion has taken place over four ...

  4. Charing Cross and Strand Electricity Supply Corporation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charing_Cross_and_Strand...

    It was used as a peak shaving plant: in 1954 it had a capacity 2.8 MW, was run for 604 hours and delivered 287 MWh. [28] In 1961 the station had a capacity of 2.8 MW, it was run for 170 hours and delivered 62 MWh. [31] In 1961/2 it generated 118 MWh, and in 1962/3 it delivered 252 MWh. [35] The building is used (in 2020) by UK Power Networks. [36]

  5. Southern Company Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Company_Gas

    Southern Company Gas owns and operates four LNG peak-shaving facilities, which supply gas at peak use times. The largest, the Riverdale LNG plant in Riverdale, Georgia, has storage capacity of 31,080,000 gallons or 2,560,000 million cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas in its two tanks. Located south of Atlanta, the plant is supplied by two ...

  6. Battery energy storage system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_energy_storage_system

    Battery energy storage systems are generally designed to be able to output at their full rated power for several hours. Battery storage can be used for short-term peak power [2] and ancillary services, such as providing operating reserve and frequency control to minimize the chance of power outages. They are often installed at, or close to ...

  7. National Transmission System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Transmission_System

    These were peak-shaving facilities used to support the NTS at times of high demand, and to ensure security of gas supplies at strategic locations. When demand was high, liquefied natural gas was pumped from storage tanks, heated in vapourisers to a gaseous state and delivered into the NTS. When demand was low, gas was withdrawn from the NTS and ...

  8. Peaking power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaking_power_plant

    Kearny Generating Station, a former coal-fired base load power plant, now a gas-fired peaker, on the Hackensack River in New Jersey. Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers", are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity. [1]

  9. Virtual power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_power_plant

    Peak shaving [ edit ] With the appropriate resources, a VPP can deliver incremental power on short notice, allowing it to help utilities manage peak loads that would otherwise require purchasing expensive power from a peaker plant (typically operating a simple cycle or combined cycle natural gas turbine).
