The Smart Grid: Enabling Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Clark W. Gellings
Publisher:

Meanwhile, building energy efficiency technology remains, for the most part, concerned with what's happening within its four walls, not on the grid at large. For example, utilities could use that rewards platform and award points to consumers for participation in web-based energy awareness games, energy efficiency programs, demand response (DR) programs, or other Smart Grid-enabled programs. Options to connect the smart grid to the home. As building owners continue to install equipment that enables more energy management precision, they can use these infrastructure tools to support smart grid activities, and get paid for doing so. Many buildings have what can be Commercial customers have unique skills and can contribute significant sophistication to the smart grid evolution by implementing strategies targeted at energy efficiency, demand response and renewable energy. Credit: Portland General "It is a highly innovative project demonstrating transactive energy management, which is a promising, cost-effective way to integrate variable renewable energy, energy storage and demand response at scale. This new model is characterized by distributed generation, grid integration of renewable energy sources, and smart grid applications such as demand response. Like the green Christine Hertzog's interview on the Smart Grid paradigm shift is featured in this special report on the Smart Energy Age from European Energy Review, the premier independent European energy journal. To achieve these objectives, the authors recommend policy changes at federal and state levels of government, noting that many of the policies that enabled the information and wireless transformations were enacted by a deeply divided Clinton/Gingrich government not unlike that currently in power. PGE is a participant in the Battelle-led Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project, which will use the center's 5-megawatt energy storage system to test several smart grid technologies and approaches. In other cases We're seeing companies take different paths to enable buildings for grid integration. In some cases, we're seeing utilities reaching into customers' homes and buildings via new pricing schemes, demand response signals or direct load control switches.
