{"Image DocumentName": "Demand-side provision of ancillary services", "Image ImageDescription": "Generating units can then be used for producing electrical energy, which is what they were designed for. If the mix of generation technologies continues to evolve toward a combination of large inflexible units and renewable generation, resources for system control may have to come from the demand side. Finally, the demand side may be a more reliable supplier of some ancillary services than large generating units. The probability that the demand side may fail to deliver a critical service on time is indeed smaller. This service would be provided by the combination of a large number of relatively small loads, all of which are much less likely to fail at the same time than a large generating unit.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
