“…18 There are other grid services and requirements where DR and DF may provide value (e.g., emergency load transfer, forecast errors). However, most DR program designs lack sufficient temporal or geographic detail to meet system operational requirements for many of these grid services (Cappers et al, 2011;Cappers et al, 2016). 16 Changes in end-use load shapes can be aggregated with other loads (not affected by EE or DR) to represent the change in total building consumption following adoption of an EE or DR measure.…”

Energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR) resources provide important utility system and ratepayer benefits. At the same time, the rapid change in the amount and type of variable renewable energy, like solar and wind, is reshaping the role and economic value of EE and DR, and will likely affect time-dependent valuation of EE and DR measures. Utilities are increasingly interested in integrating EE and DR measures and technologies (as well as other distributed energy resources) as a strategic approach to improve their collective cost-effectiveness and performance. However, the specific EE and DR features that may be best integrated, the interplay between changing EE and DR resource potential, and the resulting utility system impacts, are not well understood.

“…Others argue that, in the long run, distribution costs vary with the amount of electricity consumed and are therefore 32 ConEd's DLRP demand response program is an exception to this and provides location-specific incentives for participation. 33 Cappers et al (2015). 34 Faruqui and Hledik (2012).…”

“…On the other hand, from the standpoint of customers, financial and social motivators, the preservation of comfort, and personalized offers come to the fore. There are currently 10 demand response (DR) program types, consisting of time-based and incentive-based options [2]. Even though programs offer profitable rates, customers may not participate as much as expected.…”

Development and Field Demonstration of a Gamified Residential Demand Management Platform Compatible with Smart Meters and Building Automation Systems

Demand management is becoming an indispensable part of grid operation with its potential to aid supply/demand balancing, reduce peaks, mitigate congestions and improve voltage profiles in the grid. Effective deployments require a huge number of reliable participators who are aware of the flexibilities of their devices and who continuously seek to achieve savings and earnings. In such applications, smart meters can ease consumption behavior visibility, while building automation systems can enable the remote and automated control of flexible loads. Moreover, gamification techniques can be used to motivate and direct customers, evaluate their performance, and improve their awareness and knowledge in the long term. This study focuses on the design and field demonstration of a flexible device-oriented, smart meter and building automation system (BAS) compatible with a gamified load management (LM) platform for residential customers. The system is designed, based on exploratory surveys and systematic gamification approaches, to motivate the customers to reduce their peak period consumption and overall energy consumption through competing or collaborating with others, and improving upon their past performance. This paper presents the design, development and implementation stages, together with the result analysis of an eight month field demonstration in four houses with different user types in Istanbul, Turkey.
