Abstract

This paper presents a discussion of demand response concepts and applications, the market for demand response, and examples of how demand response principles are being applied in innovative ways. This includes a description of a Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) demand response program which utilizes internet based communications and technologies and a series of case studies describing how demand response systems were installed in commercial establishments in California. A brief discussion on the future of demand response in electricity markets is also included. These quick reviews are intended to serve as springboards for a more comprehensive panel discussion of the issues surrounding the deployment of demand response by consultants and practitioners.
