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

What's meant by 'smart grid.' Second, utilities are asking -- and in many cases, piloting to discover -- how best to involve the customer in energy efficiency and demand response programs via home-area networks (HAN) and/or consumer web portals. 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. DNV KEMA's Utility of the Future blog is a knowledge community to engage all participants along the energy value chain in moving toward a sustainable energy future. This new model is characterized by distributed generation, grid integration of renewable energy sources, and smart grid applications such as demand response. 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. Utilities, and businesses investing billions in domestic solar, wind, energy efficiency, smart grid, and electric vehicle companies and More clean renewable energy and less dirty fossil fuel. Portland General Electric, the local utility company in Portland and Salem, Oregon, sponsored a look at the Smart Grid entitled, “A Smart Grid Perspective of Energy Efficiency, Renewables, and Demand Response.” At the beginning of the seminar we learned that there are over 80 different definitions of the Smart Grid floating “Enables active participation by consumers. The Akuacom Demand Response Automation Server provides utilities and independent system operators (ISOs) two-way communication with energy management systems at commercial and industrial sites. Accommodates all generation and storage options. Enables new products, services, and markets. 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". Enable the electric power grid to respond intelligently to fluctuations in energy supply and demand, the actions of consumers, and market forces with an overall objective to improve grid efficiency and reliability. Acquisition Enables Broad Deployment of Commercial Demand Response, Adds to Honeywell's Smart Grid Technology and Expertise MINNEAPOLIS, May 7, 2010 and services for the smart grid. Honeywell Acquires Demand Response and Smart Grid Leader Akuacom. In this post, I will offer a little context for our discussion, provide my opinion on what has brought about our “emerging” smart grid opportunities, and discuss how the smart grid will enable smarter markets that will include more distributed generation and interactive demand response.
