Course Introduction
This course presents advanced methodologies that implement demand response and energy conservation programs in light of the integration of new technologies, regulatory changes, and the penetration of renewable energy resources facilitated by the operating flexibility brought by power electronics. The course presents examples from other jurisdictions, including requirements for the new building codes to achieve zero net energy.
It describes a public agency’s goals and objectives for conserving and otherwise reducing energy consumption and managing its demand for energy. The course presents the Demand Response implemented for economics and system security, such as system balancing and relieving transmission congestion, or for system adequacy. The webinar also presents the principal attributes of conservation programs and the associated success criteria. In a system with increased penetration of renewable resources, demand response provides flexibility to system operators, helping them to maintain the reliability and the security of supply.
Course objective
- Demand Response is presented as a competitive alternative to additional power sources, enhancing competition and liquidity in electricity markets.
- The unique characteristics are discussed from a local, consumer-centric, and also from system perspective, bringing to life the ever-changing paradigm for delivering energy to customers. Interoperability aspects and standards are discussed, as well as the consumer-centric paradigm of Transactive Energy with IoT-enabled flexibilities at the system level, distribution networks, and microgrids.
- The course introduces the Blockchain as a new line of defense against cyber threats and its increasing application in P2P transactions and Renewable Certificates.
Course audience
- Regulators and government agencies advising on public energy conservation programs
- All professionals interested in expanding their expertise, advancing their career, or taking on management and leadership roles in the rapidly evolving energy sector
- Energy professionals implementing demand side management, particularly in power systems with increased renewable penetration, to allow the much-needed operational flexibility paramount to maintaining the reliability and stability of the power system, and at the same time offering all classes of customers flexible and economical choices
- Any utility professional interested in understanding the new developments in the power industry.
