This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Energy Sciences, grade: 1.3, Technical University of Berlin (Wirtschafts- und Infrastrukturpolitik), language: English, abstract: This paper will analyse Demand Side Management (DSM), an approach to include the demand side in the electricity system and consequently increase flexibility. The demand side should be regarded as a variable and not as fixed, as Gellings put it beautifully. With renewable energy, energy production becomes a variable source, and the demand has to adapt accordingly. The concept of DSM has been used in the USA since the 1980s but remains a novel subject in the European Union (EU). In 2009, the European Commission set the target to increase the capacities of DSM because only a tenth of the actual potential was used within the EU in 2014. A significant obstacle regarding DSM is the deviating estimation of DSM Potentials. There exist multiple studies, which estimate the potential in Germany, but due to the high deviations that exist between them, making it is dicult to estimate the real potential. For investments, this is an important measure, and it should have high accuracy. These deviations potentially come from a missing definition for DSM, which is often entangled with Demand Response (DR), sector coupling and load management. As no clear definition or distinction to other terms is visible, it seems necessary to define the term DSM. For that, chapter 2 analyses the initial objective, modern approach and relative terms of DSM. Eventually, this leads to a more precise distinction, which helps to calculate the DSM potential from Germany with a broad analysis of multiple studies. These studies are typically based on different assumptions and were conducted in different years, therefore having different annual electricity consumption and consequently di↵erent potentials (Ladwig, 2018). A normalisation with regard to the annual electricity consumption will be performed and followed by a distincti

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Energy Sciences, grade: 87.00, , course: LRPM, language: English, abstract: The future of UK's energy industry is currently facing significant threats attributed to dwindling energy resources and escalating energy demand. Demand side management strategies can play a central role in facilitating the UK to smoothly transition from relying on conventional energy production systems to modernised systems that are more reliable due to reduced production costs and enhanced yields. The DSM strategies are predominantly divided into three types namely demand side reaction, distributed generation, and demand reduction. Demand-side responses are concerned mainly with short-term actions characterising the consumers in attempts to modify their power consumption patterns. Distributed generation seeks to establish localized energy generation and distribution to offset the demand load in macro grid power systems. Demand reduction is caused by escalating population growth and the increase of technological appliances and seeks to reduce the energy stress in macro grid power networks. Reducing energy demand explores significant ways to influence consumer behaviours and to enhance power consumption efficiency. Each of DSM groups is affected by technological, financial, and institutional factors. Financial aspects explore monetary benefits and barriers while technological factors deal with technical potential and challenges inhibiting successful implementation of DSM strategies. The institutional elements mostly focus on regulatory issues influencing demand-side management strategies. Thus, the primary recommendations in the UK’s context are concerned with technical developments and policy reconstitution to facilitate secure and sustainable energy management.

Download or read book Demand Side and Energy Efficiency Considering the Stakeholders in the Power Industry written by Fabio Pires Filho and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work aims to analyze and demonstrate Demand-Side Management (DSM) and its interaction with the social dimension, taking into account the evolution of events around energy conservation, through global sustainability initiatives. To verify the participation of society in the DSM, 4 surveys are detailed: one in Turkey and three in Brazil. All surveys were carried out at home and from the results, it appears that consumers at a global level indicate a willingness to participate in energy efficiency improvement processes. Society, as a whole, is not opposed to the use of more economical equipment.

Download or read book Managing Sustainable Demand side Infrastructure for Power System Ancillary Services written by Simon Christopher Parkinson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widespread access to renewable electricity is seen as a viable method to mitigate carbon emissions, although problematic are the issues associated with the integration of the generation systems within current power system configurations. Wind power plants are the primary large-scale renewable generation technology applied globally, but display considerable short-term supply variability that is difficult to predict. Power systems are currently not designed to operate under these conditions, and results in the need to increase operating reserve in order to guarantee stability. Often, operating conventional generation as reserve is both technically and economically inefficient, which can overshadow positive benefits associated with renewable energy exploitation. The purpose of this thesis is to introduce and assess an alternative method of enhancing power system operations through the control of electric loads. In particular, this thesis focuses on managing highly-distributed sustainable demand-side infrastructure, in the form of heat pumps, electric vehicles, and electrolyzers, as dispatchable short-term energy balancing resources. The main contribution of the thesis is an optimal control strategy capable of simultaneously balancing grid- and demand-side objectives. The viability of the load control strategy is assessed through model-based simulations that explicitly track end-use functionality of responsive devices within a power systems analysis typically implemented to observe the effects of integrated wind energy systems. Results indicate that there is great potential for the proposed method to displace the need for increased reserve capacity in systems considering a high penetration of wind energy, thereby allowing conventional generation to operate more efficiently and avoid the need for possible capacity expansions.
Download or read book Demand Side Management written by Ashish Mathur and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand side management relies basically on two aspects: technology and behaviour. Continuous information and education programmes are necessary for the development of efficient systems. Both of these aspects need to be maintained, stimulated and improved. Finally, DSM is not only good practice for reducing energy consumption -it has also side-benefits such as improved wellbeing and comfort of end-users. The other important point which restricts the consumers for purchase of energy efficient equipment is the subsidized tariff. Therefore the education to the consumers for energy efficiency and life cycle cost (LCC) analysis and strong political will to implement proper tariff structure may lead to successful DSM program.

This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity, supplied reliably and affordably, is foundational to the U.S. economy and is utterly indispensable to modern society. However, emissions resulting from many forms of electricity generation create environmental risks that could have significant negative economic, security, and human health consequences. Large-scale installation of cleaner power generation has been generally hampered because greener technologies are more expensive than the technologies that currently produce most of our power. Rather than trade affordability and reliability for low emissions, is there a way to balance all three? The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies considers how to speed up innovations that would dramatically improve the performance and lower the cost of currently available technologies while also developing new advanced cleaner energy technologies. According to this report, there is an opportunity for the United States to continue to lead in the pursuit of increasingly clean, more efficient electricity through innovation in advanced technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies makes the case that America's advantagesâ€"world-class universities and national laboratories, a vibrant private sector, and innovative states, cities, and regions that are free to experiment with a variety of public policy approachesâ€"position the United States to create and lead a new clean energy revolution. This study focuses on five paths to accelerate the market adoption of increasing clean energy and efficiency technologies: (1) expanding the portfolio of cleaner energy technology options; (2) leveraging the advantages of energy efficiency; (3) facilitating the development of increasing clean technologies, including renewables, nuclear, and cleaner fossil; (4) improving the existing technologies, systems, and infrastructure; and (5) leveling the playing field for cleaner energy technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies is a call for leadership to transform the United States energy sector in order to both mitigate the risks of greenhouse gas and other pollutants and to spur future economic growth. This study's focus on science, technology, and economic policy makes it a valuable resource to guide support that produces innovation to meet energy challenges now and for the future.
