The topic of demand side management is currently becoming more important than ever, in parallel with the further deregulation of the electricity sector, and the increasing integration of renewable energy sources. A historical review of automation integration in power system control assists in identifying established operational rules of contemporary systems, which subsequently evoke fundamental requirements for demand response applications. The scope of this paper is to provide a set of infrastructural, architectural and operational criteria for demand response systems, to support the process of establishing standards and procedures. An effort is made to address the views of system and market operators, deregulated utilities, ancillary service providers and customers.Index Terms-Load management, power demand, power system control, supply and demand.

“…It is shown that by establishing a communication infrastructure based on next-neighbour-communication, overall communication is reduced and central-node bottlenecks that occur in the centralized topologies that are currently installed can be resolved. A detailed discussion about the trade-offs between mesh and star topology in control networks can also be found in [5].…”

Abstract-Facing the shortage of energy resources and rising energy costs, it is crucial to increase the efficiency of energy usage. Daily consumption peaks in electrical power grids result in the necessity to maintain overcapacities that are only temporarily used. Although already deregulated, today's power markets still lack incentive for large consumer groups to avoid peak consumption. This paper discusses a distributed and integrated load management infrastructure based on a self-controlled load shifting strategy which aims to reduce peak consumption. Essential for its effective and flexible operation is the proposed communication infrastructure, which will enable a flow of information in addition to the flow of energy in national and international power grids. This lowcost and maintenance-free infrastructure will carry real-time pricing information and allow load management appliances to communicate with each other. As a result, the consumer can take part in the energy business and profit from shifting part of the daily load to off-peak hours.
