AS SOLAR CAPACITY GROWS, DUCK CURVES ARE GETTING

As more solar capacity has come online in California, grid operators at the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) have observed a drop in net load (or the demand remaining after subtracting variable renewable generation) in the middle of the day when solar generation tends to be highest. When graphed for a typical day, the pattern ...

Economics of Power Generation

The most important element to be considered when addressing power generation is the demand load curve. A load curve shows the variation of load (in kW or MW) over time (in hours). The load curve can be plotted for 24 hours a day, it is then called a daily load curve; if one year is considered, it is called annual load curve.

As solar capacity grows, duck curves are getting deeper in California

The large-scale deployment of energy storage systems, such as batteries, allow some solar energy generated during the day to be stored and saved for later, after the sun sets. Storing some midday solar generation flattens the duck''s curve, and dispatching the stored solar generation in the evening shortens the duck''s neck.
