Demand Response Application in Smart Grids: Operation Issues - Volume 2

This book analyzes issues surrounding the efficient integration of demand response programs (DRPs) on operation problems in smart grids. The benefits offered by demand response programs (DRPs) for load-serving entities, grid operators, and electricity consumers are explained, including decreased electricity prices and risk management. In-depth chapters discuss the flexibility of market operations, market power mitigation, and environmental benefits―making this a must-have reference for engineers and related practicing professionals working for organizations in the electricity market, including reliability organizations, distribution companies, transmission companies, and electric end-users.
