…economics of electric pumps, which are used to move liquids in industrial applications, for commercial/domestic use such as within heat pumps, for demand shifting, for supercritical CO2, in geothermal applications,…
…can lower electricity costs by 2-3c/kWh and uplift ROCEs by 5-15% in increasingly renewables-heavy grids. This 14-page note ranges over 10,000 demand shifting opportunities, to identify who can benefit most….
…ultimate energy costs, and retail incentives. Electric vehicle chargers can also provide demand shifting services to help backstop increasingly renewable-heavy grids. This market structure is what makes us think EV…
…other separation technologies, and the growing capability to backstop volatile renewables (demand shifting). Compressors and vacuum pumps are simply more flexible than cryogenics, per pages 13-14. Leading companies in Pressure…
…16). The best opportunities to de-bottleneck short-term solar volatility include diversified and resilient power grids, gas and nuclear back-ups, super-capacitors, inter-connectors, smart-energy, demand shifting and power electronics. The merits, drawbacks…
…easy-to-understand, focused and considers deployments. The technology is an exciting alternative and complement to lithium ion batteries for energy storage, or more specifically demand shifting. It may be particularly well-suited…
…combustion process that generated the original CO2. There is scope for optimization, including from demand shifting. Our calculations are based on a literature review of technical papers, and aggregating data…
…an integrated charging stations is also particularly helpful for demand shifting to backstop increasingly renewable-heavy grids. We have reviewed ten of the company’s patents. We conclude it has a genuine…
…integrating directly with renewables, then IRRs are uplifted by 2-6pp. Electric arc furnaces may also be able to benefit from demand shifting, partially increasing (decreasing) their load to coincide with…
…grids by demand shifting. The economics are exciting. We model 10% IRRs selling fresh produce at competitive prices, with upside to 30% IRRs if fresher produce earns a premium or…
