Join us on March 11 at 3:30 p.m. for this Sustainable Energy Seminar presentation by Dr. Line Roald, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UW-Madison.

Abstract

Many consumers are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. An increasing share of consumers own loads whose consumption can easily be changed in time, such as electric vehicle charging, and/or in space, such as hyper-scale data centers. Many such consumers are seeking a more direct way to reduce their carbon footprint than through demand response, market participation or procurement of renewable energy certificates. In this talk, we discuss the question of how consumers can shift their load to most effectively reduce carbon emissions, including what metrics they should use to guide their shifting. We will focus on the case of a hyper-scale data center, but try to learn lessons that are relevant for all loads.
