The Review of Demand Response Programs in Smart Grid

Demand response (DR) has become an important part of smart grid, mainly for modulating load curve, emergency treatment, balancing the demand and supply of power system. The features of smart grid-self healing and interactive-give the new meaning to DR. In smart grid, the promotion strategies of ISO/RTO in energy and auxiliary service markets implement DR programs in the project of auxiliary services and can reduce energy consumption. This paper summarizes the global related researches and practices, including the classification, progress of each subclass, the future development potential and DR program outlook in China, and puts forward the following two ideas: 1) The DR for single market cannot satisfy the needs of smart grid, advanced measurement and remote sensing technologies shall be made to implement the DR programs combining with multiple markets; 2) The service agency of DR on transmission and distribution shall be conducted and supervised by the government departments.

Demand response has great significance to the optimal adjustment of the electricity load curve, and also reduces difference between grid peak and valley load. But the promotion and implementation of demand response in China faces many aspects of problems such as electricity price control, power grid electricity sales profit mechanism and so on. Based on interpreting the classic electricity demand response theory, we consider the actual situation of China's electric power system and take a balance consideration of the interests of the government, power generation, power grid companies and electricity users, to give a new interpretation of the concept of demand response, which enriches technology means and economic means of demand response. Besides the leading role and main roles of implementation, we introduce the role of the initiator, and put forward the implementation of demand response project design and automated implementation system. This paper belongs to the national science and technology support programwith the power grid low carbonization characteristics of the smart grid integration technology research and demonstration in Jiangxi Provinceand SGCC projectWith the power grid low carbonization characteristics of the smart grid integration technology research and demonstration.

Demand Response Programs

Modern smart grids have proposed a series of demand response (DR) programs and encourage users to participate in them with the purpose of maintaining reliability and efficiency so as to respond to the sustainable development of demand-side management. As a large load of the smart grid, a datacenter could be regarded as a potential demand response participant. Encouraging datacenters to participate in demand response programs can help the grid to achieve better load balancing effect, while the datacenter can also reduce its own power consumption so as to save electricity costs. In this paper, we designed a demand response participation strategy based on two-stage decisions to reduce the total cost of the datacenter while considering the DR requirements of the grid. The first stage determines whether to participate in demand response by predicting real-time electricity prices of the power grid and incentive information will be sent to encourage users to participate in the program to help shave the peak load. In the second stage, the datacenter interacts with its users by allowing users to submit bid information by reverse auction. Then, the datacenter selects the tasks of the winning users to postpone processing them with awards. Experimental results show that the proposed strategy could help the datacenter to reduce its cost and effectively meet the demand response requirements of the smart grid at the same time.

Demand Response Programs

In recent years, smart grids have attracted considerable attention. However, despite the promising potential of the technologies encompassed within such systems, their adoption has been slow, geographically varied, and in the context of residential demand response, often subject to public scrutiny. The heterogeneous evolution of the smart grid is not only the product of technological limitations but is additionally sensitive to socio-political considerations prevalent at the national or provincial level. Through expert interviews that were conducted in Ontario, Canada, this study provides insights into which smart grid factors are considered as most important for its development, and also what are the drivers, inhibitors, benefits, and drawbacks that a smart grid provides and / or entails, placing particular emphasis on residential demand response programs. The constructs scrutinized were adapted from previous studies, and the information collected was analyzed following the procedure of the Grounded Delphi Method. The findings indicate that a consensus was reached, in that smart grids pave the way for increased demand flexibility and loss reductions, though these are contingent on measures being implemented regarding the creation of investment opportunities, engagement of consumers, and ensuring the security of private data. Relevant policy implications and research recommendations are also explored.

Demand Response Programs

Electricity demand is increasing, as a result of increasing consumers in the electricity market. By growing smart technologies such as smart grid and smart energy management systems, customers were given a chance to actively participate in demand response programs (DRPs), and reduce their electricity bills as a result. This study overviews the DRPs and their practices, along with home energy management systems (HEMS) and load management techniques. The paper provides brief literature on HEMS technologies and challenges. The paper is organized in a way to provide some technical information about DRPs and HEMS to help the reader understand different concepts about the smart grid, and be able to compare the essential concerns about the smart grid. The article includes a brief discussion about DRPs and their importance for the future of energy management systems. It is followed by brief literature about smart grids and HEMS, and a home energy management system strategy is also discussed in detail. The literature shows that storage devices have a huge impact on the efficiency and performance of energy management system strategies.
