The total potential peak load reduction reported by entities for all regions and customer classes is 37,335 MW, up 26 percent from the 2006 FERC Survey results, and represents approximately five percent of the total forecasted U.S. peak demands for summer 2008 (752,579 MW), according to the 2008 FERC Demand Response and Advanced Metering Survey.

Demand response can save a significant amount of energy through more efficient matching of supply generation with demand. From the 2008 FERC Survey: 2008 FERC Survey asked respondents to provide estimates of the potential peak load reductions (in MW), actual peak reductions (in MW), potential MWh change and actual MWh changes as of the end of [...] From the 2008 FERC Demand Response and Advanced Metering Survey, here is what different ISOs are proposing to the FERC regarding their intentions for implementing demand response smart grid application technology: Midwest ISO: FERC conditionally accepted the Midwest ISO’s proposal to implement a dayahead and real-time ancillary services market. The market design provides for the integration [...] Smart demand response can minimize congestion, increase efficiency within markets, and enhance reliability of the entire energy/electricity system. Demand response is one of the most important smart grid applications! Read more in 2008 FERC Demand Response and Advanced Metering Survey Incorporating demand response resources into planning horizons and load forecasts allows transmission providers more accurately understand the energy needs of their areas, thereby deferring or offsetting investments in new peak generation or transmission. Demand response is one of the most important smart grid applications! Read more in 2008 FERC Demand Response and Advanced Metering Survey Advanced control beat out demand response and outage management as the top smart grid application, according to the August 2009 Pacific Crest Mosaic. (Pacific Crest is a technology investment bank, and this survey was conducted by their research analysts.) The survey polled industry leaders and individuals responsible for smart grid applications, purchasing, etc. See the [...] According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s 2008 report, “Assessment of Demand Response and Advanced Metering,” Demand Response is the killer smart grid application. The report states: The 2008 FERC Survey indicates that about eight percent of customers in the United States are in some kind of demand response program. There have also been large increases in [...] |
