Customer response in Department of Energy Load Management Projects

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5365283
The Department of Energy (DOE), Division of Electric Energy Systems (EES) has completed several tests of customer-side thermal energy storage (TES). These tests include both heat and cool storage and were conducted by eight utilities under contract to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). A limited evaluation of customer acceptance of TES was carried out by each utility. DOE and ORNL are conducting automation and control experiments on the Athens Utilities Board in Athens, Tennessee. Socio-economic surveys and evaluations of customer response to load management (LM) are being performed before, during and after the experiments. Preliminary results of customer response to the Omaha Public Power District's (OPPD) direct load control of air conditioners project and the remotely controlled demand limiter project are presented.
