Residential Demand Response Strategies and Applications in Active Distribution Network Management

Electricity distribution is moving towards active, more flexible, smarter and decentralized energy systems. This transition requires System Operators (SO) to dynamically monitor control the power flow across network. Demand Response (DR) can be considered as an alternative solution costly investment of upgrading conventional Distribution Networks (DN). Hence, role DR a considerable potential elastic demands in Active Network Management (ADNM) vital. The aim this paper review recent literature pilot implementations residential activation applications at electricity level. Background concepts, programmes key participants ADNM are explained. strategies for demand responsiveness network level categorized discussed together with challenges future directions technology. most relevant innovation trials Great Britain (GB) their outcomes also discussed. • Review management. Classification based on strategies, constraints. Analysis Britain. Discussion barriers, direction implementation Response.
