Abstract
The emergence of interactive meters with communication module has made it possible that electricity consumption at different customer segments can be activated in a new way of benefit for the customer, the electricity company and the system operator. In this demonstration project customer segment is larger commercial properties and public institutions. In conclusion, it is technically possible to manage and activate the potential for demand response within the segment of large office blocks and public buildings. Practical experiments have shown that it is more expensive to achieve flexibility in power consumption for older properties than for a newly built property. The economics of demand response within office buildings are currently (prices as of 2008) not so attractive for either the customer or the utility company in relation to the investments needed to be made at both the customer and the utility company to build an infrastructure. It should also be noted that there may be relatively much work involved in handling a lot of small systems compared to systems of large effects, for example 500 kW and more. It is therefore the more attractive systems within the industrial customer segments with plants as UPS systems, cooling systems in cold storage
