The Call for Responsive Demand-side Technologies
The U.S. needs new, responsive, demand-side energy technologies to ensure that periods of tight electricity supply on the grid don’t turn into power outages. The Demand Response Research Center addresses two motivations for adopting demand responsiveness: reducing average electricity prices and preventing future electricity crises. (Video)The research conducted by Berkeley Lab and the California Energy Commission (through its Public Interest Energy Research Program) seeks to understand factors that influence “what works” in Demand Response. Berkeley Lab’s Mary Ann Piette’s team is investigating the two types of demand response — load response and price response — that may influence and reduce the use of peak electric power through automated controls, peak pricing, advanced communications, and other strategies. EnergyConnect is the technology leader in both types of demand response.
