Synopsis

The three main objectives of this work were to 1) identify and develop the country-specific information needed to establish the potential for demand response, 2) perform the market and institutional assessment needed to set realistic goals for the contribution of DRR to sector objectives, and 3) mobilize technical and analytic resources needed to support the implementation of DRR programs and track their performance.

This Task has developed action-oriented tools that markets and regulators can use to incorporate DR in their daily operating practices. The tools are designed to provide methodologies and research resources to use when evaluating the best business case structure for DR in a market. All of the project tools are organized into the book, Task XIII Project Guidebook, which provides a roadmap for assessing DR integration into the market. In addition to the tools, the book can be used as a teaching guide for a DR professional certification programme.

Objective

The objective of the Task is to deliver the necessary methodology, business processes, infrastructure, tools and implementation plans for the rapid deployment of a demand response program into participating country electricity markets to meet the specific goals and policy objectives of that market.

Financing for the Task is currently being structured. Work on the Task is expected to begin in early 2004 after financing has been secured. The Task is organized into three phases over a 30-month project schedule.

This Task will:

  • Establish a common methodology for estimating demand response potential.
  • Create economic models to determine the impact of demand response programs on market prices, reserve margins, capacity markets and liquidity as well as the value of demand response from a private and public policy standpoint.
  • Integrate previous work of the Programme on demand response and create a platform for future work particularly on enabling technologies for demand response.
  • Allow for project participation by IEA Member Countries as well as Non Member Countries and third party sponsors on a global or local basis.
  • Provide an extranet or Internet portal networking project participants into a project community of experts and as a platform for delivering intellectual property to the project participants.

Expected Results Include:

  • Establish demand response potential by country and market sector.
  • Determine specific objectives each country expects to achieve with their demand response programs.
  • Determine demand response best practices from an application and technology standpoint.
  • Identify the resources, infrastructure, investment and obstacles for each country in achieving their objectives.
  • Provide an implementation plan and "toolkit" for each country to achieve their demand response objectives.
  • Deliver the Intellectual Property created to project participants at the conclusion of each phase of the project.

The problems experienced by the North East part of the US on Aug 14th are not unique to the region or even the US, we are facing much the same problems in Europe, Asia and throughout the world. The reserve capacity is shrinking in the electricity systems of many industrialised countries and we believe the international community, working on a collaborative basis, will deliver solutions to address our common issues. We invite all regulators, utilities, industry leaders and technology companies wishing to participate to contact us.

Chairman IEA DSM Programme, Hans Nilsson.

New Task: 'Demand Response in Competitive Electricity Markets'

The IEA DSM Programme and the Peak Load Management Alliance have started this new task focused on identifying the changes in electricity prices and the network infrastructure needed to achieve greater demand response. The first deliverable for this Task is a detailed project plan which will:
  • Define and build a turn-key DR infrastructure model including Business Model, Business Rules, Enabling Technology, Standards and Implementation Plan 
  • Deliver DR into 'ANY' emerging or existing liberalised electricity market

The output will be an actionable plan, customisable to participating countries markets. To accomplish this first step the Operating Agent has organised the following events.

Background: Why we are doing it, the benefits

At its most general level demand response (DR) is the ability of electricity demand to respond to variations in market prices in 'market' or 'real' time and can be performed by reducing demand; this can be achieved through efficiency or conservation measures, by shifting load to a less expensive time period, or by substituting another resource for delivered electricity (such as self-generation). Recent research performed at the IEA, has indicated that improvements in demand responsivity of consumers will lead to increased network security and improves economic-efficiency in liberalised electricity markets.

Highly volatile electricity prices are becoming a more frequent and unwanted characteristic of modern electricity wholesale markets. But low demand elasticity, mainly the result of a lack of incentives and consumers' inability to control demand, means that consumer behaviour is not reflected in the cost of energy.

System wide benefits can be achieved with as little as 5% improvement in demand response - Customers will respond to well-designed programs providing opportunities, incentives and information, thereby assuming their role in ensuring efficient price formulation for electricity.

Demand Response is used as an emergency resource in a number of OECD countries and can increase the resilience of electricity markets to supply shortfalls.
