Utility companies will seek additional electricity generation to satisfy the needs projected by increasing demands. Additional generation means investing in new power plants that will increase costs for the companies and customers. The increase in electric demand also includes increases in peak demands. Peak demands are mostly satisfied with costly and inefficient generators. In system planning for the future, given these circumstances, demand side management (DSM) needs to be given closer consideration, since it could be used to reduce peak demands. This paper proposes a DSM system using smart meters (SM) for load control. The proposed load control would reduce peak demands while not affecting the total power consumption by customers. The load control system would target appliances that consume larger amounts of power. Depending on a priority order, established by the customer, these appliances would be switched off for a period of time during the peak in demand. Additionally, customers would be able to use the Smart Meters to communicate back with the utility companies, reporting appliance use available for load control when the previous control periods are not active. This feature, our proposal, would allow a customer to switch on an appliance and decide to signal the utility company the availability for load control. The utility company could use this information and take action when system operation may require doing so.Index Terms-Appliance manager, demand side management, home area network, smart meter, load control.

“…Demand-side management has been used in many different ways over the years for achieving higher levels of power system operation efficiency and/or reliability [2][3][4][5][6]. The benefits of DSM at the power system level have been used since the late 70s as a stimulus for the implementation of several programs worldwide.…”

The increasing dissemination of micro-generation systems, interest in demand-side management actions as a tool potentially contributing for increasing the operational efficiency of power systems operation and higher penetration of renewables will originate scenarios in which these issues co-exist in the same low voltage distribution network. The impacts of these scenarios, namely on power quality, should be properly assessed. This paper presents a case study in which the impacts on voltage fluctuation and unbalance are assessed in a low voltage radial distribution network in which some micro-generation units are installed.

Abstract--With the advent of smart meters and smart appliances, residential demand side management (DSM) schemes could potentially happen on a considerably larger scale. From the Distribution Network Operator perspective, intelligent control of appliances could help reduce peaks in demand and thus defer reinforcements of the low-voltage (LV) network. For the consumer, in a scenario where dynamic pricing is in place, peak reduction might also provide another strategy to reduce energy costs. However, the successful implementation of these techniques is contingent on the willingness of residential consumers to accept them. This, in turn, depends on the negative effects that this control might have on the consumers' comfort and convenience. This paper investigates the impact of a DSM scheme that shifts residential high-power appliances (loads) to reduce the overall peak of households connected to the same LV feeder. Simulations are run using high-resolution historical data for Central-East England. Results are encouraging; showing not only that the proposed DSM scheme has great potential for peak reduction, but, more importantly, that the negative impact on the consumers is minimal. These findings could be used to promote such schemes and increase public acceptance.Index Terms--Customer inconvenience, demand side management, energy efficiency, high-resolution domestic load data, residential electricity demand. I. INTRODUCTIONEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT (DSM) is a mechanism through which the load of some customers is managed (i.e., reduced or shifted to a different time period) in response to certain conditions (e.g., price, network constraints, emergencies, etc.). As a concept, DSM is not new and has been applied by transmission and distribution network operators mainly to reduce costs or relieve dangerous system operating conditions. These activities usually involved mostly industrial and commercial customers and took place within an agreed contractual framework.With the advent of smart meters and smart appliances, residential DSM schemes open up the possibility of applying such schemes on a much larger scale. Indeed, in the UK, residential customers account for approximately 36% of the A) Load priority techniques: Domestic appliances of an individual consumer (or a group of consumers) are classified by their importance. When a given condition is reached, single loads (i.e., appliances) can be disconnected by a central management system according to the specified priority [5]- [6].B) Control of appliances: Rather than disconnecting appliances, their power requirements are reduced or their operation is delayed [7]. It has been reported that peak load reductions of up to 60% could be achieved in UK households by developing 'load-conscious' control algorithms for cooking and washing appliances [1].C) Differential tariffs: By using different electricity tariffs, for instance during peak and off-peak hours, residential consumers can be encouraged to adapt their behavior [5]-[8]. A practical example of this is the UK's Economy...
