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

As smart grid implementations continue to unfold throughout North America, the line between energy efficiency and demand response begins to blur for utilities and their customers alike. The chart above is a simplified diagram showing how energy and information moves through the smart grid. Nonprofit corporation created to foster the development, adoption and compliance of the Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR) Smart Grid standard, today announced the addition of several new members to bring total membership to 100. During the future of smart grid policy roundtable. Getting to 2 kW per home is a big deal in mass automated residential demand response. Utilities will one day be able to use the data from their smart grid networks for split-second decisions like to help with load management, outage avoidance, and demand response. Ultimately, a wireless communication system that lowers cost, speeds up deployment, and accelerates global energy efficiency and usage, can enable companies to design state-of-the-art Smart Grid solutions, water & gas distribution systems, condition & risk monitoring and energy-optimizing Most utilities are focused on a strategy to upgrade their meters to Smart Meter technology, which enables a host of new applications such as time-of-day-pricing and demand response. The growing global interest in OpenADR will help accelerate the worldwide adoption of automated demand response solutions and enable utilities, system operators and customers better manage peak energy demand. Consumers to make smart energy choices through access to energy data is key to smart grid implementation. At DistribuTECH 2013, Comverge customer Gulf Power was recognized by the editors of POWERGRID International for its impressive dynamic pricing program that was named the demand response and energy efficiency "Project of the Year". Most of these smart-grid-enabled projects are small-scale, meant to prove the costs and benefits of going full-bore with the next generation of utility-to-customer energy engagement. Could this fancy new grid The Maryland Public Service Commission is working with Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) and Pepco to create an integrated evaluation process for energy efficiency, demand response, dynamic rates, and smart grid–enabled technologies. €�The Smart Grid, enabling energy efficiency and demand response” by Mr. 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. €�Information is at the center of energy efficiency, smart grid and demand response,” said Chris King, Chief Strategy Officer of eMeter. On the consumer portion of the smart grid, real time data is important, too, and will For example, data that can be mined to make their systems more efficient, or enable utilities to predict the outcome of events. 2) Demand response becomes ubiquitous. Oklahoma Gets Big Home Energy Savings Out of Smart Grid demand reduction across tens of thousands of homes. "It is important that we look at all of the options that can help address and mitigate climate change," said Eileen Claussen, president of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change "and smart grid's role in enabling energy efficiency and other climate-friendly It will try to demonstrate that demand response and energy storage solutions can dynamically complement renewable resources – and avoid the building of new fossil-fuel power plants to fill the availability gaps and peak needs. By enabling energy users to adjust power consumption based on signals from the grid, demand response (DR) provides a more efficient and less expensive way to use energy.
