Demand Response Programs Significance, Challenges and Worldwide Scope in Maintaining Power System Stability
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 6
Abstract
In order to cope up the continuously increasing electric demand, Governments are forced to invest on Renewable Energy (RE) sources due to scarcity of fossil fuels (such as coal, gas and oil), high costs associated with it and emission of greenhouse gases. However, stochastic nature of RE sources like wind and PV threaten the reliability and stability of power system. Demand Response (DR) is an alternative solution to address the issues of economic constraints, integration challenges of RE, and dependency on fossil fuels. It is an aspect of Demand Side Management (DSM) that converts consumer’s passive role to active by changing energy consumption pattern to reduce peak load. DR plays the role in deferring the investment on building new power plants, eliminating transmission losses and making the society green. This work analyzes initialization of different DR programs due to slumping technology costs and recognition of users’ behavior in electricity market. Moreover, this paper points out the problems associated with DR and its project implementation across USA, China and developed cities of Europe.
