Demand response refers to the intentional modification of electricity usage by end-use customers during system imbalances or in response to market prices. While initially developed to help support electric system reliability during peak load hours, demand response resources currently provide… View Summary +
In the face of persistent air quality problems, as well as emerging air quality concerns, such as greenhouse gases and state budgetary constraints, states are looking for new ways to maximize air quality while minimizing costs. RAP’s Integrated, Multi-Pollutant Planning… View Summary +
In response to Chinese government initiatives promoting demand-side management and energy efficiency, grid companies, government agencies, and private sector companies have established data platforms to identify and verify energy savings. The energy use data collected by these data platforms will… View Summary +
为响应中国政府促进电力需求侧管理、提高能效的举措,中国电网公司、政府机构和私营企业纷纷在各地建立了节能数据平台,用来确定和验证节能量。数据平台所收集的能源使用数据,最终将形成一种宝贵的国家资源,提供对中国能源使用状况独到的见解。这些信息将提供至关重要的参考依据,帮助政府制定政策,在中国经济发展的同时,实现节能减排的战略目标。本文旨在对目前正在建立的各种数据平台该如何设置提出建议,以最大限度地发挥其有效性。… View Summary +
Much has been written about the meteoric rise of the Chinese and Indian economies, and it is well documented that this phenomenal growth has coincided with a massive expansion of thermoelectric power plants—power plants that either burn their fuels to… View Summary +
This paper appeared in Volume 24 of the Energy and Environment Journal. The authors identify key policy issues and options for an energy efficiency fed-in-tariff (EE FiT) design. While an EE FiT will not always be the best approach, its… View Summary +
Transmission resources have begun to figure more prominently in policy discussions as regions move to adopt more ambitious goals for clean energy supply from variable energy resources, such as wind and solar. The global body of experience related to expanding… View Summary +
This paper identifies sound practices in rate design applied around the globe using conventional metering technology. Rate design for most residential and small commercial customers (mass market consumers) is most often reflected in a simple monthly access charge and a… View Summary +
In this paper RAP assesses the suitability for tracking CO2 emissions associated with electricity imported into the RGGI region of two energy attribute tracking systems currently in use in the RGGI region. The paper explores the capacity of the Generation… View Summary +
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Order 1000 makes great strides towards ensuring just and reasonable transmission rates and a level competitive playing field. It does this, in part, by requiring the consideration of non-transmission alternatives (NTAs) during regional transmission… View Summary +
