reduction in Smart Grid

Introduction
Smart Grid technology will enable customers to make
more informed decisions about the energy consumption.
Through Smart Grid technology consumers can adjust
the amount of electricity they use and how much they
use.
This cutting edge technology is called Demand Side
Management (DSM) and offers cutting costs for
commercial consumers, saving money for household
and help utility to operate more efficiently, reducing
green house emissions.

Demand Side Management


Demand side management is a set of interconnected
and flexible programs which allow customers a greater
role in shifting their own demand of electricity during
peak load periods as well as reducing their overall
energy consumption.

Demand Response or Load Shifting


Demand Response programs transfer customer load
during period of high demand to off-peak periods and
can reduce critical peak demand.
Shifting daily peak demand flattens the load curve,
allowing more electricity to be provided by less base
load generation.
It can save the cost of building additional generation
capacity to meet future critical peak demand.
Demand Response helps in preventing blackouts,
reduce demand on grid, increase reliability and benefit
environment.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation


York and Kushler (2005) describe energy efficiency as follows:
Energy efficiency involves technology measures that produce
the same or better levels of energy services (e.g., light, space
conditioning, motor drive power, etc.) using less energy.
The programs can encourage consumers to give up some energy
use in return for saving money.
Allows customers to use less energy while receiving same level
of end service.
Depending on the time of equipment use, energy efficiency
measures can also produce significant reductions in peak
demand.
