Title: New York State farmstead demand-side management

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6918761

This project is designed to support the analysis of conservation and load management potential for New York State farmsteads and to identify the marketing and promotional measures necessary to gain higher levels of acceptance. The project is designed to provide maximum value to each of the utility co-sponsors and to the US Department of Energy, particularly in the areas of technology assessment,'' market penetration,'' integrated utility planning'' and technology transfer.'' The essential elements of this project are the following: a market assessment of the farmstead market in New York state and the types of technologies, programs and services that are presently being offered to rural farmsteads; technical options for farmsteads will be developed including information on the first costs, expected life, performance characteristics, demand and energy impacts and conditions affecting the attractiveness of such measures. This information will be specific to New York State; the market penetration model used in this project will analyze DSM program options using utility costs and rate schedules, load shapes, technology and customer characteristics to determine the cost effectiveness of the various options under consideration; and develop a guidebook and technology briefs and conduct a two-day workshop to publicize the project approach and the results to ensure maximum visibility to the project and its findings. 6 figs.
