State Grid Chongqing Electric Power prepares a flood season power demand response plan

China Energy Storage Network News: On April 21, the Marketing Service Center of State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company completed the preparation of the 2020 Chongqing power grid's flood season electricity demand response implementation plan, helping the Chongqing power grid to operate smoothly during the peak summer period.

It is understood that power demand response refers to customers responding to prices or incentive signals, changing their normal power consumption patterns, and ensuring the balance of power supply and demand, thereby achieving comprehensive optimization of power consumption and system resources. The trial period of the Chongqing Power Grid's Flood Season Power Demand Response Implementation Plan in 2020 is from July to September. The plan is based on the principle of "optimizing methods, increasing time periods, and adjusting baselines". Through market-oriented means, it taps into user-side response resources, guides customers to actively participate in the flood season demand response, reduces the peak-to-valley difference of the Chongqing Power Grid, and alleviates the pressure on the power grid operation during peak power consumption periods.

Compared with previous years, the 2020 Chongqing Power Grid Flood Season Power Demand Response Implementation Plan has optimized the customer participation in power demand response, response period and load calculation method. The plan explicitly adopts two response methods: agreed demand and real-time demand, supports customers to extend or shorten the response period according to the real-time operation status of the power grid, and provides customers with a more flexible response strategy; enriches the power demand response period, and adds a short-term response of half an hour in the two periods of noon (11:30-17:30) and evening (20:30-22:30). At the same time, the plan divides the baseline calculation period into two categories: working days and non-working days according to the actual response period, and selects the baseline load differently.

In addition, the plan also clarifies the regulations on the organization and implementation of electricity demand response, subsidy calculation and issuance, and guarantee measures.
