Energy Demand Response Issues Covered by Industry Thought Leaders

One of our site's main information channels is Greentech Grid, and the implementation of energy demand response programs that assist utilities, grid operators and the public falls within this sector. Our smart grid articles offer insightful information on technologies developed for utilities that need to decrease their loads. Though we view demand response from the professional's point of view, our demand response coverage also discusses commercial and home energy customer participation in money-saving programs. Our DR news includes corporate, research, policy, and deployment facts on energy demand response technologies and the operations that contribute to reduced demand during actual or anticipated peak periods.

Our articles explain price-based and incentive-based demand response programs that are offered by utility companies to balance supply and demand. We also examine the energy DR strategies that allow commercial and industrial users to generate power and cost savings without affecting the comfort of the work environment. We take note of the growth opportunities for firms that design effective demand response applications and for companies that are now delivering solutions to consumers. At Greentech Media, our staff reports on integrated hardware and software products that drive complementary energy programs, including those for smart meters and demand response systems.

Our content examines DR applications and their effects on the utility and the consumer. It discloses the relationship between the increasing use of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and the expected growth in the energy demand response business. Our smart grid editors are evaluating developments, as homes and businesses get "smarter" and utilities strive for more efficient use of power capabilities. The resource center on our site has additional information on smart grid topics, including white papers and presentations on this energy space.
