Energy glossary
Essential terminology for understanding demand response, energy markets, and grid services.
Ancillary Services
Grid Services
Services that support the transmission of electricity and help grid operators maintain system reliability, including frequency regulation, spinning reserves, and voltage control.
Baseline
Demand Response
A calculated estimate of what a customer's electricity consumption would have been without participation in a demand response event, used to measure performance.
BESS (Battery Energy Storage System)
Battery Storage
A rechargeable battery system that stores electrical energy for later use, often participating in demand response, frequency regulation, and energy arbitrage.
Capacity Market
Markets
A wholesale electricity market where generators and demand response providers are paid to ensure sufficient capacity is available to meet future electricity demand.
Coincident Peak
Markets
The point of highest electricity demand across an entire grid system, often used to calculate capacity charges and demand response performance.
Curtailment
Demand Response
The deliberate reduction of electricity consumption by a facility in response to a demand response event or grid operator request.
Day-Ahead Market
Markets
A forward electricity market where prices are established one day before delivery based on forecasted supply and demand.
Demand Response (DR)
Demand Response
A program that incentivizes electricity consumers to reduce or shift their power usage during peak demand periods or grid emergencies, helping maintain grid stability while earning revenue.
Energy Arbitrage
Battery Storage
The practice of buying electricity when prices are low and selling it (or avoiding purchases) when prices are high, often enabled by battery storage systems.
Frequency Regulation
Grid Services
An ancillary service that helps maintain the grid frequency at 60 Hz by rapidly adjusting generation or load in response to frequency deviations.
Global Adjustment (GA)
Markets
A charge on Ontario electricity bills that covers the cost of building new electricity infrastructure and providing conservation programs.
Interval Metering
