Front of Meter：
Randomness, volatility and intermittency
of renewable energy.
The inertia of the power grid is relatively
reduced and the frequency regulation
capability is insufficient.
Utility Side：The change of power energy
structure and power load leads to the
instability of power grid and short - term
shortage of capacity. The problem that power
facilities need to be upgraded is increasingly
prominent.
Behind the Meter：The load peak-valley
difference continues to rise and the stagger
peak power consumption mode is not
popular, resulting in high power supply
pressure of the power grid and high
electricity bills for users.
