Load Management
• Long term load management—Energy Efficiency
– Motivated by legislated policy, internal policy
• State PUCs (IOUs)
• Economics of capital expense
• Other internal drivers
• Short term load management—Demand Response &
Renewable Integration
– Motivated by system needs
• Distribution feeder loading
• Wind & solar integration
• Peak load management

Load Management—Traditional
• Load management has been around for years…
– Energy Efficiency & DR programs
• Static loads are switched off
– Relay control
• Water heaters
• Air conditioners
• Swimming pool pumps
– Phone calls, or other signal
• Industrial & large commercial operations
• Communication is typically one-way
Easy

Load Management—Future
• Move from static ON-OFF type systems
• Same device provides Energy Efficiency and Demand
Response
– Load management across all time periods
• Turn loads into load management resources
– 2-way communication
– Variability
– Flexibility
– Distributed intelligence
– Open protocols
