- Reduce customer peak demand and contribute to the State of Maryland’s goal of reducing energy and demand by 15 percent per capita by 2015.
Case Study: Baltimore G&E
The Challenges
The Solutions
- Calculation of hourly DR reductions - Calculation of hourly DR overrides - Detailed and summary reporting of DR events by time period - Seven-day ahead forecasting of DR availability - Support of substation-feeder specific ALM events enabling quantification of the locational
reliability and economic impact benefits - Calculations in daily “backcasts” and settlement with the PJM market
- Decreased costs through wholesale price mitigation and capacity revenue. By supporting the accounting of demand response when offered to the market during periods of high system costs, Retail Operations facilitates the valuation of demand reduction that can lead to reduced wholesale prices by backing down demand to avoid higher-cost generation.
- Reduced capital expenditures for new distribution infrastructure. Using Retail Operations, BGE can aggregate the load and available demand response at the distribution model and accurately identify where demand response can be used to avoid costly capital expenditures in the distribution system.
- Environmental benefits—By minimizing the generation cycles required to meet demand, Retail Operations enables BGE to reduce its emissions while maintaining customer satisfaction.
