Asymmetrical response of California electricity demand to summer-time temperature variation

摘要

Spatial distribution of summer-time mean dry-bulb ( ) temperature ( ), and wet-bulb ( ) temperature ( ) over the study area as well as the response of peak load ( – ) to dry-bulb ( ) anomaly ( – ) and wet-bulb ( ) temperature anomaly ( ), with quantiles ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 in increments of 0.2—the mean response is colored red. The probability density functions of temperatures for cold-anomalous (shaded blue) and warm-anomalous (shaded orange) days are shown on the right side of the graphs in – . The maps ( , ) were created in ArcGIS (v.10.4; ) and the line plots ( – ) were created in R (v.3.2.1; ).
