Utilizing Demand Side Management to Power Systems
The Demand Side Management (DSM) is necessary to enhance the sustainability, reliability and efficiency of modern power systems. DSM can be considered as well able to balance the market, reduce the peak loads and reduce the necessity of cost of infrastructure investments by acting beforehand and altering the consumer-side energy intensities. Depending on the existing circumstances and cost indicators various measures such as load shifting, peak clipping, valley filling, and energy saving are employed to optimize the utilization of electric power. The dynamic role of the end user can include integrating smart meters, automated control as well as the responsive appliance to enhance the stability of the grid and eventual reduction in the cost of operations. DSM also lowers hybridization of the integration of renewable energy sources by regulating fluctuation and ensuring flexibility in demand profile. This paper discusses a number of DSM strategies and how they are implemented in commercial, industrial and residential segments as well as their impact on grid performance and energy efficiency. In sum, the transition to smart, resilient and low-carbon energy should not be made without DSM.
