the fellowship and the ring - research and dsm
DESCRIPTION
Dr Janet Stephenson and Dr Allan Miller tell the fantasy tale of getting two very large demand side management research projects off the ground - Energy Cultures 2 and Green Grid. Told at the Wellington IEA DSM Storytelling workshop on March 17, 2014.TRANSCRIPT
A 3-part story of daring research collaborations on
energy behaviour and demand response

2000: Industrial Demand Response
Industrial Participation still limited, what about homes?
• In the long run the demand side will participate
Photovoltaics in the Future?
By 2021:
•20-30% midday capacity
•Meets only 4% of energy requirement
•Wind will exacerbate the variability (up to 50% capacity)
Photovoltaic Generation
Windy Variability
What about the short run?GREEN Grid, the bearer of the Ring
• Demand response en-mass from homes to deal with renewable variability
• Two benefits: facilitates more renewables, brings the demand side to the table
