2nd Demand Response & Ancillary Services

Date: 6th November 2013 - 8th November 2013 Location: Austin - Texas - USA

Providing Ancillary Services With Demand Response

Demand Response is considered to be one of the smart grid’s emerging killer applications for utilities, grid operators, and power generators. But it can do more than help meet peak load. It can help provide ancillary services such as contingency reserves and regulation and load following.

We are on the verge of a new opportunity to help meet this nation’s power supply needs in the 21st century. With interest in the integration of significant amounts of renewable energy, wide-spread deployment of plug-in electric vehicles, and more efficient use of our existing transmission and generation infrastructure, demand response is poised to complement these initiatives, having a central role in shaping the way the grid is managed and energy consumed.

Demand response can act as an ancillary service that responds just as quickly as an ancillary power plant would, in under a second or within minutes, depending on the type of ancillary service required. These conditions afford practitioners an opportunity to tap into an additional payment stream for their participation ancillary services.

Organized electricity and ancillary services markets are supporting resources for ancillary services, and the set of rules and requirements for participation are unique to each market. This conference will cover the opportunities that exist in the ancillary service markets and identify challenges to market participation for a demand response resource.

Incorporating extensive evaluation feedback from the previous event, this conference program has been updated to provide you with the latest, most up-to-date information driving the Demand Response and Ancillary Services today. This event will examine the global smart building managed services market trends, along with opportunities and challenges for Demand Response. Also, special sessions will be included on the exciting new role Transactive Energy will play in smart grid modernization.
