Demand Response

 

Demand Response is defined as: “Changes in electric usage by end-use customers from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of electricity over time, or to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high wholesale market prices or when system reliability is jeopardized.” (Wiki) This basically means that a demand response can limit the amount of electricity. Demand response is useful in many ways, Demand response programs are designed to be both fiscally and environmentally responsible ways to respond to occasional and temporary peak demand periods. The demand response is useful in which it is environmentally helpful and good for sustainable energy, mostly large companies use this to use a reasonable amount of energy and keep save electricity. If demand is really high for electricity then businesses can be shut down for inspection or other things. Overall, demand resp­onse programs give us residential, commercial and industrial consumers, the abi­lity to voluntarily trim our electricity usage at specific times of the day.  This is good and I would sign into if I had a company. So I could help other in need and it’s always good to save electricity
