The energy landscape is rapidly evolving, with electricity demand surging after two decades of stagnation. This surge is driven by various factors, including the proliferation of data centers, the resurgence of manufacturing, and the electrification of transportation. As utilities scramble to meet
The recent decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to discontinue the Demand Response Auction Mechanism (DRAM) program after 2024 has raised significant questions about the future of demand response (DR) and distributed energy resources (DERs) in California. Launched in 2015,
The concept of price-based demand response (PBDR) is garnering attention for its potential to revolutionize power system planning and operation. PBDR stands out by modifying electricity usage patterns through time-varying rates, possibly offering flexible power system support that utilities and
Increased participation in demand response (DR) programs by New York State facility managers holds the potential to significantly bolster the electrical grid's resilience and reduce emissions. DR programs enable the management of electricity consumption during peak periods through real-time
An in-depth study published recently examines an energy management optimization model tailored for cooperative multi-Microgrids (MMGs), which integrates a Demand Response Program (DRP) and takes into account various uncertainties. The model achieves a balance of techno-economic and environmental
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) recent meeting spotlighted a range of vital decisions and actions that underscore the complexity and evolving landscape of U.S. energy regulation. The meeting touched on issues ranging from demand response aggregation and the inclusion of
