Dr. William Acker, Executive Director of NY - BEST, said, «Energy storage technologies can provide multiple benefits to the electric grid and customers alike, such as
peak load reduction, capacity, integration of renewable energy and resilience.
However, energy price arbitrage and other applications such as
peak load reduction which could require multiple hours of storage may still be some way off from being economically viable in many cases, Regen found.
Implementing
peak load reduction algorithms for household electrical appliances.
Reducing household electricity consumption through demand side management: the role of home appliance scheduling and
peak load reduction.
It reflects the changes in the demand for electricity resulting from a utility DSM program that is in effect at the same time the utility experiences its annual peak load, as opposed to the installed
peak load reduction capability (i.e., potential peak reduction).
Using targeted communication like phone calls — and no price signals or in - home devices — the company showed consistent
peak load reductions across a test that involved Consumers Energy in Michigan, Efficiency Vermont / Green Mountain Power, and Glendale Water & Power in California.
An academic paper last year titled «The Perverse Impact of Calling for Energy Conservation» actually found
no peak load reductions — and shoulder increases — in response to mass media calls for conservation.
The report specifically mentioned Opower's behavioral demand response product, which allows utilities to target
peak load reductions without the need to install hardware.

(Sec. 144) Requires: (1) each
load - serving entity or state to determine and publish
peak demand
reduction goals for any
load - serving entity that has an applicable baseline in excess of 250 megawatts; (2) the Secretary to develop a system and rules for measurement and verification of demand
reductions; (3) such goals to provide that such entities will reduce or mitigate
peak demand by a minimum percentage amount from the applicable baseline to a lower
peak demand during 2012 and 2015; (4) such goals to provide that the minimum percentage
reductions established as
peak demand
reduction goals shall be the maximum
reductions that are realistically achievable with an aggressive effort to deploy Smart Grid and
peak demand

load - serving entity to prepare a
peak demand
reduction plan that demonstrates its ability to meet applicable goals.
(6) The term «
peak demand
reduction plan» means a plan developed by or for a

«Accordingly, as we concluded in D.P.U. 10 - 54, at 229 - 230, the Cape Wind facility will produce far greater benefits in terms of its: (1) contribution to narrowing the projected gap between supply and demand of renewable resources; (2) contribution to compliance with GWSA emission
reductions requirements; (3) contribution to fuel diversity; (4) price suppression effects; (5) ability to act as a hedge against future fuel price increases and volatility; (6) contribution to system reliability; and (7) ability to moderate system
peak load.
