Effectively Manage Load Uncertainty and Reliability Issues
As we all witness the glitches in market restructuring, the fundamental interaction between supply and demand is in the forefront. Markets experiencing temporary price spikes or acute demand shortages need cost-effective solutions in the short-term. Utilities, state public utility commissions, and regional transmission organizations are increasingly turning to demand response programs to help manage electric load and reliability issues.
Demand Response programs can shift load away from peak periods, educate customers, increase overall system capability, and improve the efficiency of market operations by reducing the need for construction of new peaking generators.
The problem is not going away. New approaches are needed to cost-effectively manage load constraints.
