==== 1. Wind + Gas Peaker Combo - The gas peaker plant (Toronto Power Plant) will need to run more during summer, since wind can't cover peak demand reliably. ==== # Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) - BESS can help smooth short dips but can't replace multi-day demand during heatwaves without enormous scale. - Likely use: backup and short-term smoothing, not seasonal supply. # Load Flexibility for Cooling - Demand-response strategies (e.g., pre-cooling, scheduling non-critical work in cooler hours) can help reduce peak load. - But cooling requires constant power during hot stretches, limiting flexibility. # Grid-Level Solutions - Large-scale BESS, additional solar-plus-storage, or even demand-side management programs may need to support the region. - The data center itself could be incentivized to shift workloads off-peak, but physical cooling needs remain.
