-- 美國能源資訊署(EIA)週二表示,2019年至2025年間,維吉尼亞州的商業用電量增加了近3,000萬兆瓦時,增速遠超除德州以外的其他任何州。 EIA在年度電力產業報告中指出,維吉尼亞州電力銷售的成長主要得益於資料中心的集中建設,以及電動車的普及和建築電氣化。 電力銷售是指電力服務實體(通常是公用事業公司)向最終用戶輸送能源。然而,電力服務實體必須擁有充足的資源和儲備,以應對其服務區域內不斷增長的能源需求和極端天氣事件帶來的每小時、每日和季節性用電高峰。 EIA表示,峰值負載是指一天、一個月或一個季節中瞬時最高的單次用電量峰值,即使它只持續15分鐘。 今年早些時候,PJM互聯公司在其2026年長期負荷預測中指出,其位於維吉尼亞州的Dominion區域將在2026年至2030年間迎來夏季高峰負載絕對增幅最大的時期,這主要受資料中心成長的推動。 PJM的Dominion區域目前擁有全球最密集的資料中心,這主要得益於其光纖連接、土地資源和電力基礎設施。 PJM Dominion區域2025年的夏季高峰負荷為23,905兆瓦,比2019年增長23%;同樣,PJM Dominion區域2025-2026年冬季的冬季高峰負荷為25,413兆瓦,比2019-2020年冬季的冬季高峰負荷為25,413兆瓦,比2019-2020年冬季的冬季高峰負荷為25,413兆瓦,比2019-2020年冬季增長45%。 PJM預計未來10年夏季用電高峰將以每年平均5.4%的速度成長,低於其2025年預測的6.3%。 2019年至2025年間,我們的逐小時電網監測數據顯示,Dominion地區前50個最高小時用電高峰中,除3個外,其餘均出現在2024年(15個)或2025年(32個)。隨著電力需求的成長,尖峰和平均小時用電負載也隨之增加。根據我們的逐小時電網監控數據,將平均小時用電負載與這些峰值進行比較,可以反映Dominion地區全天用電需求的變化。 電力公司和其他市場參與者正在採取多種策略來應對高峰需求帶來的挑戰,包括需求響應計劃、儲能解決方案、利用備用連網容量升級設施以及投資基礎設施以確保供電可靠性。鑑於技術的快速部署和不斷發展,市場參與者也在努力提高負載預測能力,特別是資料中心負載預測能力。
