The Smart Grid: Enabling Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Clark W. Gellings
Publisher:

Pushing energy efficiency, demand response and other programs to get utility customers to use less power will be a critical part of making up for that shortfall. Dille: I would say my concern is that demand response has had such a strong regulatory tailwind that has really created and enabled demand response to become a material participant in the electricity market. Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southern California Edison, to successfully engage customers with the benefits of the smart grid, smart meters, demand response and other enabling technology and devices for home energy “As consumers become more educated about smart grid and smart meters, and have access to more information, pricing, and automation applications, their knowledge and favorability grows, and so does our nation's energy efficiency.”. On a "value-based modeling" service that enables utilities to identify and validate the unique value proposition of smart grid analytics for their specific . The energy trend today is moving rapidly towards integrated networks, which requires better management of assets, peak demand and better response to faults. The chart above is a simplified diagram showing how energy and information moves through the smart grid. C3 Energy has even worked with Accenture and McKinsey & Co. And then the last space is more on the demand side of the equation and is related to the smart grid — they are really demand response and energy efficiency companies, whether it is EnerNOC (ENOC) or Comverge (COMV). To achieve these objectives, the authors recommend policy changes at federal and state levels of government, noting that many of the policies that enabled the information and wireless transformations were enacted by a deeply divided Clinton/Gingrich government not unlike that currently in power. At the same time, smart grid startups from home energy analysis and efficiency startup Opower, to demand response and customer data integration specialist AutoGrid, are using the latest in big-data technologies to tackle specific utility needs. Enables active participation by consumers in demand response; Self-heals from power disturbance events; Operates resiliently against physical and cyber attack; Provides power quality for 21st century needs; Accommodates all which can make the system work more efficiently through improved communication and integration. €�The Smart Grid, enabling energy efficiency and demand response” by Mr. This new model is characterized by distributed generation, grid integration of renewable energy sources, and smart grid applications such as demand response.
