December 2013 – Real-time Renewables Integration
but there are challenges…Facilitating up to 75% Renewables in real-time requires change
Challenges
• System Stability
• Resource Variability
• New connections
• Changes in power flows
• Consumer Participation

Demand Side Management
System Operator Benefit
• Greater accommodation of variable RES
• Reduced system / consumption costs
Consumer Benefit
• Reduced bills• Greater control over and
engagement with the energy they produce and consume
Changing energy consumption to deliver benefits
