The Smart Grid consist of a web of technologies aimed at automating, improving efficiency, and increasing availability of the electric grid ranging from generation, transmission, and distribution levels.
Automation also includes tools to conduct predictive, preventative and supply analysis based on data collection that is conducted at the transmission and distribution level.

• There is evidence that rolling out smart meters without power management programs may result in negative return on utility investment in the programs.
• AMI and power management programs must be integrated in a utility’s smart grid strategy in order to meet some of the expectations placed on it.

Demand Response
Demand Response Market Categories (United States), 2009

Provides the advance notice that the price rate for electricity will be lower during certain periods of the day, and subsequent manual adjust of power usage
Could involve a smart thermostat, or a programmable switch that is connected to major home appliances such as air conditioner, heater, etc., that is programmed to automatically lessen power use based on information received directly from the utility company detailing peak and off-peak power prices.
Incl. capacity and demand bidding
The ability, or more importantly, the permission for a utility company to cycle on and off appliances (air conditioners, dryers, etc.) for brief periods during peak usage times in return for lower utility bills.
10
Typical DR Model:
Shared Savings Model
• Power dispatchers typically monitor electricity usage and alert their customers to reduce their power usage during peak periods to avoid escalation of brownouts or blackouts.
• In return, grid operators or utilities pay power dispatchers a stream of recurring revenues for managing this demand response capacity, such as on a monthly basis.
• Power dispatchers make payments to commercial, institutional, and industrial end users of electricity for both contracting to reduce electricity and actually doing so when called upon.

Residential Sector
Early commercialization stage. In majority of the places demand response is being pilot tested and is in the evaluation phase
C&I Sector
Is an established market with set protocols.
Majority of C&I consist of medium and large industrial customers. However, more recently hospitals, school districts, high schools, government buildings have been signing on.

Customer Participation
Direct load control (also called demand-response -- appliances that can be cycled on and off by the electricity supplier during times of peak load) is a possible aspect of Smart Grid technology. If your electric utility offered to either cycle central air conditioners off and on for brief periods during peak usage times in return for lower utility bills, would you sign up for such a program?
Dynamic pricing with enabling technology (Smart Appliances, Smart Thermostats) is a possible aspect of Smart Grid technology. If you were equipped with a smart thermostat or a programmable switch that is connected to your major home appliances such as air conditioner, heater, etc., would you program it to automatically lessen power use based on information received directly from the utility company detailing peak and off-peak power prices (off-peak prices are lower than peak prices)?
Dynamic pricing without enabling technology is a possible aspect of Smart Grid technology. If you were given a day advance notice that the price rate for electricity will be lower during certain periods of the day, would you manually adjust your power usage (i.e., such as running appliances during off-peak hours, turning off air conditioning or adjusting the temperature, etc.)?

Most respondents are willing to participate in the varying demand-response programs. However, the price points at which respondents would participate vary considerably. Dynamic Pricing With or Without Enabling Technologies are most popular.

Slight price point variations exist. Yet, Direct Load Control is the least popular option, with 22 percent having no interest.
