The Role of Enabling Technologies in Demand Response

Research Reports International, May 2007, Pages: 105

The 1st Edition of Research Reports International's The Role of Enabling Technologies in Demand Response report is a 105-page study of the technologies that are crucial to the success of demand response programs.

The report takes a look at the historical development of demand response programs and analyzes how new technology is needed to enable demand response to make the transition from a small scale pilot operation to a mass market means of improving grid reliability. Additionally, the report discusses the key technologies needed to enable a large scale demand response effort and evaluates current efforts to develop and integrate these technologies. Finally, the report provides profiles of leading developers of these key technologies.

Specific topics covered in the report include:
- An overview of the history of demand response
- A discussion of the types of demand response programs
- An analysis of the current level of demand response
- An evaluation of the role that enabling technologies play in demand response
- A discussion of the key enabling technologies and how they support demand response
- An overview of key architectures to support demand response
- Profiles of key enabling technology providers
