Demand Side Management
Demand Side Management
Usually the goal of DSM is to encourage the consumers to use less energy during peak hours or
to move the time of energy use to the off-peak hours
• UNDERSTANDING DEMAND AND SUPPLY?
Q) Who Demands electricity?
A) The consumer
.
• NEW TECHNOLOGIES
.
• NEED FOR DSM?
Energy security
.
.
• Observations
The peak demand is only 5-6 hours in the evening
To meet the extra demand utility has to arrange additional installed capacity or
purchase power at high rate

Strong policy-drive gives many opportunities to find support for focused
programmes, especially when fossil fuel is targeted and renewables promoted

• FORECASTING
• LOAD FORECASTING
Forecasting refers to the prediction of the load behavior for the future
Load Characteristics
• LOAD FORECASTING
Load Driving Parameters
• Time factors such as
– Hours of the day (day or night)
– Day of the week (week day or weekend)
– Time of the year (season)
• Weather conditions (temperature and humidity)
• Class of customers (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, public, etc.)
• Special events (TV programmes, public holidays, etc.)
• Population
• Economic indicators (per capita income, Gross National Product (GNP), Gross
• Trends in using new technologies
• Electricity price
• LOAD FORECASTING
Load Driving Parameters
•Load forecasting techniques can be classified into
Short Term Load Forecasting (STLF): The STLF methods are used for hour-by-hour predictions. This can help
prevent can help to estimate load flows and to make decisions that can prevent overloading. Timely
implementations of such decisions lead to the improvement of network reliability and to the reduced occurrences
of equipment failures and blackouts.
Medium Term Load Forecasting (MTLF): The MTLF methods are used for daily predictions
Long Term Load Forecasting (LTLF) methods : LTLF may be used for the peak seasonal predictions
In the deregulated economy, decisions on capital expenditures based on long-term forecasting are also more
important than in a non-deregulated economy

• LOAD FORECASTING
Long Term Load Forecasting Methods
Advantages
• Economic activity
• Gross national product (GNP)
• Rate of inflation
• Price of electricity
• LOAD FORECASTING
Long Term Load Forecasting Methods
Load is usually broken down by sector (residential, commercial and industrial sectors) and
further by end-use (lighting, cooling, motive power, etc.)
Analyzing the customer‘s load requires analyzing the customer‘s equipment and its
characteristics
• LOAD FORECASTING
Long Term Load Forecasting Methods
Advantages
•It affords a more detailed description of the various load components
•It allows a better understanding of the way that customers use electricity.
•It increases the accuracy of the forecast and thus the ability to make a much better forecast
•It can be used to support demand-side management (DSM) efforts
•The end-use approach quantifies the relative importance of the components of load (and by
implication, the relative importance of introducing measures to deal with specific load
contributors), and patterns of current and future use
• LOAD FORECASTING
Long Term Load Forecasting Methods
•It requires a very large amount of data and so many separate forecasts, since each end-use
must be forecast.
•It is very detailed and intensive, and involves high expenditures of time, not only in the
acquisition of data, but also computer time
•It is costly to produce end-use forecasts
•It requires skilled personnel, due to the complexity of the forecasting methodology.
