Demand Response (DR) technologies allow utilities to talk to devices inside the customer premise. They include such things as load control devices, smart thermostats and home energy consoles. They are essential to allow customers to reduce or shift their power use during peak demand periods. Demand response solutions play a key role in several areas: pricing, emergency response, grid reliability, infrastructure planning and design, operations, and deferral.

The Energy Independent and Security Act of 2007 required the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to conduct a National Assessment of Demand Response Potential and report the result to Congress on: 1) The estimated nationwide demand response potential in 5 and 10 year horizons; 2) Barriers to demand response programs, and 3) Recommendations for overcoming barriers to more use of demand response. “This study takes a flexible, real-world approach to gathering information on the potential for demand response,” FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff said. “It also makes available to the public an easy-to-use spreadsheet model, complete with data inputs and assumptions, so that states, utilities and other interested parties can make updates or modifications based on their own data and policy priorities.” |

This is a three-page summary of performed by Freeman, Sullivan consultants. It concerns 10,000 customers who signed up for PG&E's residential SmartRate critical peak pricing tariff in 2008. It compares the load impact estimates with estimates based on the demand models developed for California's Statewide Pricing Pilot (SPP). The demand models estimated from the SPP pilot allow load impact estimates to be made that adjust for the differences between different customers in different geographies. Differences in the two estimates were quite similar in each hour. These findings should provide confidence that load impact estimates based on pricing pilots will in fact be realized if similar tariffs are actually deployed. |
