Analisti thotë se Duke Energy Corporation është duke studiuar Bitcoin Minierat e aplikuara ndaj përgjigjes së kërkesës
Sipas analistit të nivelit të plumbit dhe strategjisë rregullatore në Duke Energy Corporation, korporata e dytë më e madhe e energjisë në SHBA aktualisht po studion bitcoin mining. Lead analyst Justin Orkney said that a bitcoin demand response (DR) study was being worked on and the energy firm is partnered with bitcoin miners that are enrolled in Duke’s DR programs.
The Second Largest U.S. Energy Corporation Is Researching Bitcoin minierash
E fundit "Bitcoin, Energy and the Environment” podcast with Troy Cross, called “Duke Energy is studying bitcoin,” features Justin Orkney, the lead rates and regulatory strategy analyst at the energy corporation. In the episode, Orkney and the podcast host discuss “bitcoin’s utility” and “really interesting opportunities” that pertain to energy demand response programs.
Basically, DR gives energy consumers the ability to operate the grid more efficiently by reducing or shifting loads. For instance, with bitcoin mining, by being able to “strategically locate miners on the system — There’s an opportunity to partner with these types of customers,” Orkney said. While a majority of the conversation details Orkney’s background in Solar and pilot studies on demand response, the analyst notes how bitcoin mining could be a powerful technology when it comes to DR components.
Gjatë intervistës, Orkney theksoi se disa nga Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) customers were bitcoin miners. “We do have existing customers on our system,” Orkney explained to the show’s host. “They are voluntarily enrolled in our demand response programs. Those consist of basically agreeing to curtail usage at particular hours of the year when we call events.”
'Bitcoin Mining Appears to Be That Really Powerful Demand Response Technology’
In the U.S., most of the infrastructure such as transformers and transmission lines are more than two decades old. DR programs can allow grid customers, some of which can be bitcoin miners, to help the utilities manage peak demand. Insufficient transmission capacity can be managed more effectively in order to make old infrastructure more reliable. Orkney said that it’s possible that bitcoin mining could be a technologically advanced DR method.
"Bitcoin mining appears to be that really powerful demand response technology where they can be humming at a 100% power factor, or using the same amount of electricity all day long which is called flatline, and then within a matter of minutes they can decrease their usage at kind of a pinpoint precision level and hold it for however long they want to and then bring it right back up,” Orkney said.
Bitcoin mining has received a lot of vëmendje negative gjatë vitit të fundit në lidhje me industrinë përdorimin e energjisë si rrjeti thuhet consumes 91 terawatt-hours of electricity annually. However, a number of bitcoin believe concerns about BTCKonsumi i energjisë i 's kur bëhet fjalë për minierat është i tepruar. Për më tepër, një botuar së fundmi studim tregon se Bitcoin network leverages 50 times less energy than the traditional banking system.
Për më tepër, analisti mjedisor, social dhe i qeverisjes (ESG), Daniel Batten, publikoi një raportojnë that indicates bitcoin mining could potentially eliminate a significant amount of leaked methane and stressed that no technology could do it better. Batten’s study shows that Bitcoin could strategically eliminate 0.15% of global CO2-eq emissions by 2045.
Me qendër në Charlotte, Karolina e Veriut, Duka shpërndan energjinë përafërsisht 7.5 milion konsumatorë me pakicë elektrike dhe operon në gjashtë shtete. Kompania amerikane mbajtëse e energjisë elektrike dhe gazit natyror menaxhon 58,200 megavat energji dhe Orkney shpjegon se Duka është korporata e dytë më e madhe e energjisë në SHBA, nëse jo më e madhja në sektorë të veçantë.
Përveç Duke Energy Corporation, raportet kanë treguar se gjigantët e energjisë dhe gazit pëlqejnë Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM), Equinor, Gjeodhe ConocoPhillips kanë eksploruar bitcoin mining solutions in the energy industry as well.
