about oil, natural gas, fuel energy It is the fifth factor in the daily life of the villagers. The fluctuation of energy prices affects the well-being of the people and the vote of the politicians.
There are many parties that bring energy to campaign.
Most of them will reduce the price to compensate for the price that sometimes the policy is against reality.
market mechanism distortion
without strategy and control
The more it will aggravate the situation even worse.
At present, the national energy policy has rules for
Determine the amount of electricity production as a Reserve Margin or backup power production capacity.
in order to achieve stability in electrical energy
which is a master plan that has been used for a long time
But when the situation changes, Thailand has more renewable power plants, which means that when the status of renewable power plants is given more importance, it means that there will be more instability in the system as well.
The adoption of the production model of uninterruptible power or Reserve Margin can no longer be used as a criterion used to measure the stability of the electrical power system.
which was known
renewable energy
coming from solar energy
or wind power
There are many limitations and it's not even worth it. The use is also limited.
backup power generation system
It is bringing the maximum power consumption of the period.
Let's calculate the electricity consumption for the whole year.
which actually
demand for electricity
Each period is very different, e.g.
day and night
summer winter
Therefore, it cannot be used as a standard for calculation.
backup power generation
the whole country
Using the principle of calculating the risk of using electricity
The so-called power outage probability index, or LOLE, is a calculation that is most likely to match the reality, which is a calculation from all forms of electricity production at all times.
And take into account the uncertainty of renewable energy plants as well.
It is a calculation principle used in European countries and the United States.
It is a number that directly reflects energy security.
What should be the LOLE value of our house?
by evaluating the value
both economic and investment
and can be calculated
Risks of the future economy as well, for example, using the criteria of the likelihood of a power outage of 0.7 days per year, which we can calculate as an investment in electricity generation to see how much volume is needed.
Chances of 0.1 days of power outages per year, necessitating more back-up
to create stability of electrical power in order to minimize power outages, etc.
At present, the demand for electricity in our country, both in the household and industrial sectors, has increased in line with the population and industrial growth.
Last year saw growth of 2.5 percent. The services sector grew 11 percent in line with this year's economic growth forecast.
Compared to using electricity in the past year
Electricity consumption is expected to increase.
The campaign should also be based on accurate information.
