How to write an internal demand survey and analysis for energy storage

How to analyze energy demand?

Such an analysis allows identification of the underlying factors affecting energy demand. Various analytical methods are used to analyze energy demand. Three approaches are presented below: simple descriptive analysis, factor (or decomposition) analysis, and econometric analysis.

What is electricity supply and demand analysis?

The electricity supply and demand analysis covers installation capacity, generated electrical energy, and the hourly use of electrical equipment. An electricity demand analysis covers: total national and regional electricity demand, subindustry power use, maximum power loads, and power load characteristics.

How is energy demand calculated?

Because of the large number of influence factors and their uncertainty it is impossible to build up an ‘exact’ physical model for the energy demand. Therefore the energy demand is calculated on the basis of statistical models describing the influence of climate factors and of operating conditions on the energy consumption.

What is energy supply and demand analysis & forecasting?

Energy supply and demand analysis and forecasting can be used to analyze both current and historical data for national and regional primary energy production. It can also be used to analyze primary energy demand and final energy (coal, oil, natural gas, and electric) demand. Furthermore, it is capable of forecasting future energy demand.

What decisions should a user make when analyzing energy demand?

As indicated earlier in this chapter, any analysis of energy demand should consider three decisions made by the user—equipment buying decision, fuel and equipment choice decision and the capacity utilization decision.

What is the principle for estimating and analyzing energy demand?

From the point of view of economics, the principle for estimating and analyzing the demand for energy is not different from that for any other commodity. There are characteristics of energy demand, institutional features of energy markets, and problems of measurement that require particular attention in analyzing energy markets.
