Description
Summary:Today’s power system faces a problem with penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources. Traditionally, supply side must respond to the demand side for the efficiency of the grid. Intermittent renewable energy sources are unable to respond to the demand side. Therefore, the situation needs to change with demand side responding to the supply side. Demand Response (DR) has been introduced to the smart grid, which aims to lower electricity demand during peak period or when system reliability is jeopardised. Residential consumers take up to 15% of the total electricity consumption, which makes residential DR play an important role. Residential DR is achieved through the DR technique of load shifting to lower peak period to flatten the demand curve. The incentive of doing so is the lower electricity prices in the off-peak period.
