Here is that same equation expanded into components. This is probably not how many of you would write the equation, but bear with me, because I think this is a very useful way to think about it.
First let’s look at the supply side. What these have in common is that they are all dispatchable. At any instant in time you can provide this quantity of power with certainty.
Now let’s go to the demand side of the equation. What these componets all have in common is that they are predictable, but not dispatchable. Let me go through one.
Built-in demand is all of the demand that would exist on a system at any instant in time assuming that all consumers, industrial, commercial, and residential, have time-independent electricity rates and are going about their normal day-to-day lives.
Demand response is the incremental decrease or increase in demand that occurs because some electricity consumers are modifying their electricity consumption at a given instant in time because they are responding to time-dependent electricity prices.
I put renewables and fuel-based distributed generation on the demand side of the equation because they have the same characteristic as demand – because they are intermittent, they are predictable but not dispatchable. For me they are best thought of as negative load. One exception for renewables are dispatchable biomass facilities need to be included on the supply side.
