  • Total Energy Intensity
    EN17 Total Energy Intensity Key message Economic growth has required less additional energy consumption over the 1990s, although total energy consumption is still increasing. However, since 2000 the rate of decrease in energy intensity has slowed, remaining almost stable to 2004. This was due to a slowdown in the rate of GDP growth, while energy consumption continued to rise strongly. Rationale Historically, economic growth has led to increased energy consumption, thus putting increased pressure on the environment. The indicator identifies to what extent there is a decoupling between energy consumption and economic growth. Fig. 1: Trends in total energy intensity, gross domestic product and total energy consumption, EU-25 Index (1990 = 100) 135 Data source: Eurostat and Ameco database, European Commission. 125 Note: Some estimates have been necessary in order to compute the EU- 25 GDP index in 1990. For some EU- 115 25 member states Eurostat data was not available for a particular year. The European Commission's annual 105 macroeconomic database (Ameco) was used as an additional data source. GDP for the missing year is estimated 95 on the basis of the annual growth rate from Ameco, rate which is applied to the latest available GDP from Eurostat. 85 This method was used for the Czech Republic (1990-94), Cyprus (1990-94), Hungary (1990), Poland (1990-94), 75 Malta (1991-1998) and for Germany (1990). For some other countries and years, however, GDP wasn’t available 65 from Eurostat or from Ameco. With the 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 purpose of estimating the EU-25, few assumptions were made.

Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 8 December 2019; Published: 18 December 2019 Abstract: Climate change and global warming are related to the demand for energy, energy efficiency, and CO2 emissions. In this research, in order to project the trends in final energy demand, energy intensity, and CO2 emission production in Ecuador during a period between 2000 and 2030, a model has been developed based on the dynamics of the systems supported by Vensim simulation models. The energy matrix of Ecuador has changed in recent years, giving more importance to hydropower. It is conclusive that, if industrialized country policies or trends on the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency were applied, the production of CO2 emissions by 2030 in Ecuador would reach 42,191.4 KTCO2, a value well below the 75,182.6 KTCO2 that would be seen if the current conditions are maintained. In the same way, by 2030, energy intensity would be reduced to 54% compared to the beginning of the simulation period.

Discussion papers are research materials circulated by their authors for purposes of information and discussion. They have not necessarily undergone formal peer review or editorial treatment. The Measurement of the Energy Intensity of Manufacturing Industries: A Principal Components Analysis Jean-Thomas Bernard and Bruno Côté Abstract Energy intensity is the ratio of energy use to output. Most industries deal with several energy sources and outputs. This leads to the usual difficulties of aggregating heterogeneous inputs and outputs. We apply principal components analysis to assess the information derived from six energy intensity indicators. We use two measures of total energy use (thermal and economic) and three measures of industry output (value added, value of production, and value of shipments). The data comes from manufacturing industries in Québec, Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia from 1976 to 1996. We find that the variation of the six energy intensity indicators that is accounted for by the first principal component is quite large. However, depending on how variables are measured, there may be significant differences in the assessment of the evolution of inergy intensity for some industries. There are no particular patterns in this respect.

[email protected] 2Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Sharif, Abarkooh Branch, Technical and Vocational University (TVU), Yazd, Iran. [email protected] 3Electrical Distribution Company, Yazd, Iran. [email protected] Abstract - According to the definition of Energy Department, demand response is the ability of domestic, industrial, and commercial consumers to use electrical energy to modify their consumption patterns at peak time to affect the price and reliability of the grid. The power grid voltage static stability could be improved to a satisfactory level using the demand response. For this reason, in this research, this device was used to improve the static stability of the grid voltage. In order to improve the objective functions, the normal state of the grid is considered. Normal mode is considered as the normal state of the grid, which provides the grid in its stable state without any failures in equipment. The optimization algorithm in this study is the TLBO algorithm. The problem of optimal allocation of demand response programs is solved to achieve the best value of the objective function of the grid voltage static stability. The location, the active and reactive power for which the best static voltage stability is achieved in the grid, is presented as an optimal response. The simulation results showed that the best place for this program to improve the static stability of the grid is bus No. 8. Keywords: Demand Response Program, Voltage Static Stability, TLBO Algorithm, Electrical energy consumption Introduction With the evolution of the power industry and the formation of the electricity market, the electricity management programs faced serious challenges and threats.

  • New York Energy Storage Services Fact Sheet Summer 2018 – NYSERDA Energy Storage Soft Costs Program
    New York Energy Storage Services Fact Sheet Summer 2018 – NYSERDA Energy Storage Soft Costs Program Background This document summarizes value streams currently available for energy storage systems installed in New York State. Additionally, information on service classifications and demand response programs for each New York utility is provided in the appendices. The information in the following tables is up to date as of: August 17th, 2018. As the electric grid modernizes, value streams will evolve. In his 2018 State of the State Address, Governor Cuomo announced a 1,500 MW energy storage target for the State by 2025, to serve as an aggressive near-term waypoint for the state’s 2030 energy storage target that will be established by the Public Service Commission in 2018. To implement the Governor’s directive, NYSERDA and the Department of Public Service worked with stakeholders to develop the Energy Storage Roadmap that identifies market backed policy, regulatory and programmatic actions that can be taken to build this market. The Roadmap is now available for public input and written comments may be submitted until September 10, 2018 with reply comments due by September 24, 2018. The Roadmap includes immediate and near-term actions as well as short-term solutions that can bridge the longer time horizons that some of these market changes require. This roadmap will form the foundation of a Public Service Commission order later this year that establishes a 2030 storage target and deployment mechanisms. Developers are encouraged to actively engage with DPS and NYSERDA in this process as this will play a major role in bringing additional market opportunities to energy storage deployment.
