报告摘要:

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread around the globe in 2020, with the US becoming the epicenter of COVID-19 cases since late March. Substantial changes in the operations of bulk power systems and electricity markets are observed, and it is imperative for policymakers and power system operators to take a scientific approach to understanding and predicting these potential impacts. With this purpose, this study releases a cross-domain open-access data hub, integrating data from all existing US wholesale electricity markets with COVID-19 case, weather, mobile device location, and satellite imaging data. We then develop a data-driven analysis to substantiate the pandemic’s impacts from the perspectives of power system security, electric power generation, electric power demand, and electricity prices. Our results suggest that both electric power demand and electricity prices have discernibly dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic. Geographically diverse impacts are observed and quantified, while the bulk power systems and markets in the northeast region are most severely affected. In addition, leveraging cross-domain insights from public health and mobility data, we rigorously show that the significant reduction in electric power demand is strongly correlated with the number of COVID-19 cases, degree of social distancing, and level of commercial activity.
