Impact Analysis of Duck Curve Phenomena with Renewable Energies and Storage Technologies

“…Following this, different mitigation techniques have been reported as well, primarily addressing the issues of ramping and excess generation. These approaches included changing the tilt angles of solar panels [6,19] and also using different types of energy storage systems [8,10,20,21]; and Demand Side Management (DSM) methods [9,22]. DSM methods generally include using alternative sources of energies, such as solar water heaters and biomass briquettes [9,16,20].…”

“…DSM methods generally include using alternative sources of energies, such as solar water heaters and biomass briquettes [9,16,20]. It should be noted that not all such options may be very well accepted by modern environments and communities from the smart cities [12,21,22].…”

“…Due to the popularity of renewable energies and DSM methods, policies of various states across the globe have openly encouraged consumers to add solar PV on their roof-tops and liberal incentives are given for circular economy practices [9,18,21]. However, the conventional energy audits may not very well capture such variations in energy consumption patterns, and this creates a disconnect between capacity addition and load estimation studies [22,23]. Quantification of demand response needs to be done dynamically and results should be fed to capacity expansion plans [9,22].…”

Some energy policy initiatives such as the Single Buyer Model (SBM) can also influence the duck curve.…”

“…This warrants the use of specialized computational tools for unit commitment and economic dispatch with additional constraints since dispatch is now required to be computed almost hourly basis. To accomplish this, researchers and engineers have used different software solutions such as AMPL and CPLEX [7], SAM, PLEXOS [5,18], BEopt [15,17] and MATLAB [3,5,22,24]. Now it is clear that there are different software solutions to deal with energy dispatch with solar energy injections.…”
