RELIABILITY IMPACTS OF DEMAND RESPONSE INTEGRATION

Demand response (DR) is one of the main ingredients of future smart electricity grids, and is expected to have a significant impact on power system operation and planning procedures. DR integration impacts the reliability of power system at all levels (generation, transmission, distribution) and requires new methods for reliability assessment or appropriate modification of the existing power system security and adequacy evaluation methods. This panel session will present the state-of-the-art research from academia and implementation updates from industry on the issues related to this important subject.
