Motivating coal-fired power plants to provide deep peak regulation (DPR) service is the most important means of avoiding renewable energy curtailment. This research proposes a pricing mechanism for DPR and proves that this mechanism meets the requirements of incentive compatibility and individual rationality. By determining the unit price of DPR service according
Thereby, peak regulation tasks undertaken by gas‐fired power plants have been popular in recent years [8, 9]. However, two problems are confronted by gas‐firedpower plants when participating in the peak regulation of the power system. Firstly, there are problems within the capacity mech-anisms and peak regulation ability of gas‐firedpower

Peak-load shifting is the process of mitigating the effects of large energy load blocks during a period of time by advancing or delaying their effects until the power supply system can readily accept additional load. The traditional intent behind this process is to minimize generation capacity requirements by regulating load flow. If the loads themselves cannot be

The energy sector in Zimbabwe is supervised by the Ministry of Energy and Power Development (MEPD). The Ministry's mandate includes policy formulation, performance monitoring and regulation of the energy sector, as well as research and promotion of new and renewable sources of energy and energy conservation.
The energy sector in Zimbabwe is overseen by the Ministry of Energy and Power Development (MoEPD). The National Energy Policy (NEP) was promulgated in the year 2012 to provide an overal framework for optimal supply and utilization of energy in general and ensure access to modern energy services for the country’s socio-economic development.
Without a doubt, Zimbabwe's energy infrastructure is in dire need of massive improvements in order to stabilize and centralize the nation's domestic energy output. The renewable energy potential of Zimbabwe is revolves around 3 main aspects: hydropower, solar power, and biogas.
SECRETARY FOR ENERGY AND POWER DEVELOPMENT. Zimbabwe currently has a national electrification rate of 42%. While electricity has reached 83% of the urban households, rural electrification is still around 13% as per the National Energy Policy of 2012.
The main obstacles to stable hydropower production are the underdeveloped electrical grid of the country, lack of funding to build and maintain more stations, and volatile weather conditions from climate change. Solar power in Zimbabwe is mostly found within individual homes, but there is potential for larger private or public ventures.
