Meeting Electricity Demand: Importance of Resource Balance and Choice
Abstract
As dependence on electricity increases and technology advances, electric systems have become highly sophisticated, complex, integrated energy platforms. To meet growing demand, the electric grid requires a wide variety of diverse and strategically located resources and technologies. This includes fossil and renewable energy resources, as well as conservation and demand‐side management solutions. Overdependence on any one resource can have devastating social and economic implications in times of resource scarcity.
