Book Description
One of the focus areas of the smart-grid initiative is residential level demand response. Literature presents numerous demand response and load control programs. Some of the recent surveys analyze price-responsive demand response optimization, mathematical modeling of demand response, responsive demand forecasting, and communication requirements. Minimal work is done to evaluate and incorporate the impact of such programs on the grid. The real-time demand response program should benefit both utility and the consumers in an optimized manner. Most demand response schemes in the literature fail to identify the benefit to the distribution system. Only a few of publications in the literature indicate that the proposed demand response programs could benefit the utility. Of that, only a handful of work shows and verifies the actual benefits. One of the works, which evaluated the grid impact, focuses on individual appliances and their contribution to voltage drop mitigation. Regardless of the benefit to the consumers, the utility will not be interested in those programs if they do not provide a considerable benefit to them. This has limited the distribution system operators from identifying the worth of demand response and launch programs which are beneficial to both consumers and distribution operators. This thesis addresses the value of demand response programs to the grid. The first part of this thesis identifies the benefit of the demand response programs available in the literature. Next, the thesis presents an approach to incorporate utility focused demand response benefits into distribution system operation. This is done by maintaining distribution level requirements such as minimal deviations in nodal voltage and power factor. A modified AC distribution power-flow method is proposed along with the demand response as a constraint. The demand response constraint is developed using the first part. The outcome of this work can be used by utilities to evaluate the benefits of demand response programs

Book Description
With different intensities, depending on the season, every morning and evening of any weekday there are the same peaks in electricity demand. Peaks can bring about significantly negative environmental and economic impacts. Demand Side Response is a relatively recent solution in Europe which has the potential to reduce peak demand and ease impending capacity shortages. Peak Energy Demand and Demand Side Response presents evidence on a set of Demand Side Response activities, ranging from price-based to incentive-based programmes and policies. Examples are drawn from different programmes for both residential and non-residential sectors of electricity demand, including Time of Use tariffs, Critical Peak Pricing Automated Demand Controllers and Ancillary Services. The book also looks at the actual energy saving impacts of smart meters, the activities which constitute peak demand and the potential opportunities associated with European smart grids and Capacity Markets. This is the first book presenting comprehensive analysis of the impacts, cost benefits and risks associated with Demand Side Response programmes and policies. It should be of interest to students, scholars and policy-makers in the areas of energy, environmental economics and applied economics.

Book Description
This handbook serves as a guide to deploying battery energy storage technologies, specifically for distributed energy resources and flexibility resources. Battery energy storage technology is the most promising, rapidly developed technology as it provides higher efficiency and ease of control. With energy transition through decarbonization and decentralization, energy storage plays a significant role to enhance grid efficiency by alleviating volatility from demand and supply. Energy storage also contributes to the grid integration of renewable energy and promotion of microgrid.

Book Description
Americans' safety, productivity, comfort, and convenience depend on the reliable supply of electric power. The electric power system is a complex "cyber-physical" system composed of a network of millions of components spread out across the continent. These components are owned, operated, and regulated by thousands of different entities. Power system operators work hard to assure safe and reliable service, but large outages occasionally happen. Given the nature of the system, there is simply no way that outages can be completely avoided, no matter how much time and money is devoted to such an effort. The system's reliability and resilience can be improved but never made perfect. Thus, system owners, operators, and regulators must prioritize their investments based on potential benefits. Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System focuses on identifying, developing, and implementing strategies to increase the power system's resilience in the face of events that can cause large-area, long-duration outages: blackouts that extend over multiple service areas and last several days or longer. Resilience is not just about lessening the likelihood that these outages will occur. It is also about limiting the scope and impact of outages when they do occur, restoring power rapidly afterwards, and learning from these experiences to better deal with events in the future.

Book Description
Local Electricity Markets introduces the fundamental characteristics, needs, and constraints shaping the design and implementation of local electricity markets. It addresses current proposed local market models and lessons from their limited practical implementation. The work discusses relevant decision and informatics tools considered important in the implementation of local electricity markets. It also includes a review on management and trading platforms, including commercially available tools. Aspects of local electricity market infrastructure are identified and discussed, including physical and software infrastructure. It discusses the current regulatory frameworks available for local electricity market development internationally. The work concludes with a discussion of barriers and opportunities for local electricity markets in the future. Delineates key components shaping the design and implementation of local electricity market structure Provides a coherent view on the enabling infrastructures and technologies that underpin local market expansion Explores the current regulatory environment for local electricity markets drawn from a global panel of contributors Exposes future paths toward widespread implementation of local electricity markets using an empirical review of barriers and opportunities Reviews relevant local electricity market case studies, pilots and demonstrators already deployed and under implementation
