Energy Management (EET424) - Module 3 Notes

Module 3 (8 Hours): Demand Side Management and Ancillary Services

1. Demand Side Management (DSM)

Definition: DSM involves strategies to manage and reduce electricity consumption on


the consumer side, especially during peak demand times.

Benefits of DSM

 Lower consumer electricity bills

 Reduced peak load demand

 Deferred investments in generation and T&D infrastructure

 Enhanced grid reliability

 Improved environmental performance

DSM Techniques

 Time of Day Pricing (ToD): Electricity tari s vary by time to shift usage to o -
peak hours.

 Multi-Utility Power Exchange Model: Integrates electricity, gas, and water


systems for optimized performance.

 Time of Day Models for Planning: Analytical models to forecast demand and
price variation for optimal scheduling.

Load Management Techniques

 Load Priority Technique: Categorizes loads based on importance; critical loads


remain while others can be reduced.

 Peak Clipping: Reduces peak demand by shutting or controlling certain loads.

 Peak Shifting: Shifts energy use from peak to o -peak periods.

 Valley Filling: Promotes load during o -peak times to level overall demand.

 Strategic Conservation: Reduces overall consumption through e icient design


and practices.

 Energy-E icient Equipment: Encourages use of high-e iciency devices to


minimize energy waste.

Power Factor Improvement


 Improves e iciency and reduces energy bills by minimizing reactive power.

 Methods include:

o Installing capacitor banks

o Synchronous condensers

o Corrected appliances

 Numerical Examples: Power factor correction calculations and energy savings


examples.

2. DSM and Environment

 Reduces fossil fuel dependency

 Supports renewable energy integration

 Lowers greenhouse gas emissions

 Encourages eco-friendly energy usage habits

3. Ancillary Services

Definition: Ancillary services are essential operations that support the transmission of
electric power from producer to consumer, ensuring reliability and quality.

Types of Ancillary Services

 Frequency Regulation: Keeps system frequency within prescribed limits

 Voltage Support: Maintains proper voltage using reactive power management

 Spinning Reserve: Standby power available immediately

 Non-Spinning Reserve: Backup generation that can be activated quickly

 Black Start Capability: Restarting the power grid without external supply

 Scheduling and Dispatch: Balancing generation with real-time demand
