< Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ➢ v. Assessment of Demand Response and Advanced Metering ➢. Xcel considered two The components of these Wi-Fi-enabled devices allow customers to remotely control appliances and thermostats in the home, thereby achieving better management of their energy consumption. More utilities are piloting smart grid-enabled demand response programs, but customer engagement is crucial to success. You can skip to the end and leave a response. Demand response refers to actions by customers that change their consumption (demand) of electric power in response to price signals, incentives, or directions from grid operators. Enables new products, services, and markets. Portland General Electric, the local utility company in Portland and Salem, Oregon, sponsored a look at the Smart Grid entitled, “A Smart Grid Perspective of Energy Efficiency, Renewables, and Demand Response.” At the beginning of the seminar we learned that there are over 80 different definitions of the Smart Grid floating “Enables active participation by consumers. Xcel's concept of SmartGridCity was born, and the company set out to become the first utility in the world to create a fully-functioning smart city powered by an energy-efficient, self-monitoring smart grid. In other cases We're seeing companies take different paths to enable buildings for grid integration. Accommodates all generation and storage options. 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. Energy efficiency: The Smart Grid: Enabling Energy Efficiency and Demand Response. 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.
