4 FAQs about Fast charging of pv distributions at a cement plant in the marshall islands

Can demand response reduce the cost of energy consumption in cement plants?

Furthermore, when a TOU price rate is considered, the cost of consumed electrical energy for a day decreased on average by 14 % in these plants by the new schedule. These findings prove that the developed model can reduce the cost of energy consumption in cement plants through the application of demand response.

Is the cement industry a potential candidate for demand response strategies?

The result reveals that the demand flexibility potential of the case study cement plants is about 495 MWh per day, constituting approximately 28 % of the daily total electrical energy used by these cement plants, proving that the cement industry is a potential candidate for demand response strategies.

Is energy demand flexibility possible in the energy-intensive cement production sector?

This study aims to investigate the energy demand flexibility potential in the energy-intensive cement production sector. A mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) has been developed to flatten the grid's hourly demand curve by minimizing the industrial customer's hourly peak loads and maximizing the shifting of demand to off-peak periods.

How much does the maximum load decrease in a cement plant?

Thus, it has been shown that by adapting the proposed model to the case study cement plants, the maximum loads of the plants during the peak period of the day are decreased by about 76 % in the first plant, 75 % in the second plant and 74 % in the third plant.
