In the last two decades, the power industry has undergone unprecedented changes motivated by challenging environmental targets set out by governments worldwide, increasing requirements in terms of security of supply, and the need for making electricity more affordable to end customers in a market environment. The increasing share of renewable energy sources, such as wind and photovoltaics connected to networks at different voltage levels, is dramatically changing the classic predict-and-provide approach that has characterized the power sector since its dawn at the end of the 19th Century.
The primary aim of Demand Response (DR) is to overcome the “traditional” inflexibility of electrical demand and, amongst other benefits, create a new powerful tool to maximize deployment of renewable energy sources as well as provide active network management solutions to help reduce the impact of limited grid capabilities.
This book presents, for the first time, a comprehensive view on technical methodologies and architectures, commercial arrangements, and socio-economic and regulatory factors that could facilitate the uptake of DR.
