Title: Industrial operations and maintenance demand-side management resource development: Literature and data review

Technical Report ·

Industry in the Pacific Northwest consumes a significant percentage of the total regional electric load; however, industrial demand-side management resource development activities in this sector are underdeveloped. One such opportunity for electricity resource development is through maintenance (O&M) activities. Despite the importance of industry in the Pacific Northwest, little information has been available on the DSM resource potential, particularly through O&M activities. To obtain this information, the Bonneville Power Administration commissioned Pacific Northwest Laboratory to study the DSM resource potential that may be achieved through O&M practices in Pacific Northwest industries. The information from this report will be used to identify one or more specific O&M activities or industries having significant opportunity for reducing electricity consumption for further evaluation in future tasks to this project. The overall goal of this project is to determine, confirm, and develop the conservation resources that can be achieved from O&M practices in Pacific Northwest industries. This project is developmental in nature because its scope involves a sizable task whose path and direction is difficult to define in advance. The primary focus of this report is to summarize the major findings of the literature and datareview. Detailed analysis and use of all data gathered in the review are beyond the scope this study. However, the reported findings in this analysis provide an extensive framework for identifying and estimating the electric resource potential available in the industrial manufacturing sector.
