Development and implementation of demand response load management system for maintaining the supply and demand during off-peak periods

Abstract

Even if Demand Response has become very important and useful in reducing peak loads and also providing incentives for the Consumers, it is being applied only as a Scenario Driven solution. In other words Demand Response is only being used in the event of peak loads. During the moments of no peak loads, Demand Response programs are not available to the Consumers or market participants and none of the Demand Response Programs are being applied. Demand Response as many define it to be a short term response to a critical energy situation may be a limiting factor to the application and understanding of Demand Response programs.
