The next event in the FDC Seminar Series will be a research presentation by our colleague Qingran Li.
Title: Response of Industrial Electricity Load to Temperature and the Climate Change Implication
Presenter: Qingran Li
Time: Friday November 5th at 11AM (Campus location TBD, Zoom link below)
Description: Estimating the impact of climate change on energy use across the globe is essential for mitigation and adaptation policies. Most existing empirical estimates are concentrated in the developed countries, especially the United States. This study uses daily industrial electricity consumption from over 90 cities in China to estimate how power usage responds to temperature variations. The temperature-response relationship is modeled with a spline function due to the nonlinearity feature of the problem. The estimated spline function shows that the load response to temperatures above 27 C (80 F) is more significant than that to temperatures below 10 C (50 F). This result can be used to predict industrial power demand under different climate change scenarios.
Stage of project: work in progress with preliminary results, looking for comments and suggestions.We will let you know soon about a room location on campus. For those attending remotely, please register in advance for this meeting:
