Energy Demand Management or Peak Demand Management

EIA (Energy Information Agency), U.S. DOE, definition of Demand-Side Management (DSM) Program (2001): “Demand-side management (DSM) programs consist of the planning, implementing, and monitoring activities of electric utilities which are designed to encourage consumers to modify their level and pattern of electricity usage, including the timing and level of Electricity demand.”.

Demand-Side Management and Cost, http://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.cfm?id=D#dsm
A utility action that reduces or curtails end-use equipment or processes. DSM is often used in order to reduce customer load during peak demand and/or in times of supply constraint. DSM includes programs that are focused, deep, and immediate such as the brief curtailment of energy-intensive processes used by a utility's most demanding industrial customers, and programs that are broad, shallow, and less immediate such as the promotion of energy-efficient equipment in residential and commercial sectors.

The Smart Grid and the Promise of Demand-Side Management [1]

Demand-Side Management

· Load Shifting (Load Management or Demand Response)

o Critical peak shift

o Daily peak shift

· Energy Efficiency & Conservation (Load Reduction)

o Energy conservation

o Energy Efficiency

Implementation of DSM involves

· Rates

· Incentives

· Access to Information

· Utility Control

· Education and marketing

· Customer insight and verification

Demand Response:

· “Changes in electric usage by demand-side resources from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of electricity over time, or to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high wholesale market prices or when system reliability is jeopardized.”

Advanced Metering

· “Advanced metering is a metering system that records customer consumption (and possibly other parameters) hourly or more frequently and that provides for daily or more frequent transmittal of measurements over a communication network to a central collection point.”

Smart Grid – Demand Response Technologies [9], http://www.smartgridnews.com/artman/publish/Technologies_Demand_Response/

“Demand Response (DR) technologies allow utilities to talk to devices inside the customer premise. They include such things as load control devices, smart thermostats and home energy consoles. They are essential to allow customers to reduce or shift their power use during peak demand periods. Demand response solutions play a key role in several areas: pricing, emergency response, grid reliability, infrastructure planning and design, operations, and deferral.”

· Efficiency upgrades

PACIFI Corp, Demand Side Management:

Demand-side management involves reducing electricity use through activities or programs that promote electric energy efficiency or conservation, or more efficient management of electric energy loads. These efforts may:

· Promote high efficiency building practices

· Promote the purchase of energy-efficient ENERGY STAR® products

· Encourage the transition from incandescent lighting to more efficient compact fluorescent lighting

· Encourage customers to shift non-critical usage of electricity from high-use periods to after 7 p.m. or before 11 a.m.

· Consist of programs providing limited utility control of customer equipment such as air conditioners

· Promote energy awareness and education
