Abstract :
Demand response provides an increasingly important resource for maintaining grid stability: reducing demand during system peaks, following the intermittent power generation characteristics of renewable generation, and even increasing demand during system troughs. There are currently demand response programs in use by many distribution utilities as well as at the wholesale level with Independent System Operators. A standard for demand response has not existed that satisfies the communication requirements of retail and wholesale demand response in the U.S.
