Survey of utility industrial demand-side management programs. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5354148

Utilities are increasingly focusing their attention on load shaping opportunities in the industrial sector. Unfortunately, there is little documented information on the industrial demand-side management (DSM) experience of utilities. In this project, EPRI conducted a survey of utilities to identify the load shape objectives, technologies, end uses, and market implementation methods specified by utilities in their industrial DSM activities. More detailed case studies and phone surveys were also conducted to identify and document specific programs, as well as the program development and implementation process, specific market implementation methods used, and DMS program planning and design. The project also documented the major problems and issues faced by utilities in effectively planning, analyzing and implementing industrial DSM programs, and identified areas in which future EPRI research could assist utilities in developing improved industrial DSM programs.
