Optimization of the Demand-Side Management System Under the Increasingly Stringent Requirements of Ensuring Supply

Power demand-side management (DSM) plays a crucial role in improving energy efficiency and alleviating the strain on power supply. The concept of power demand-side management encompasses a broad range of strategies, including load management, strategic energy conservation, and adjustments to the power market. This book focuses on two innovative models of power demand-side management: orderly power utilization and interruptible load management. It analyzes these models in conjunction with the legal challenges faced by grid companies when coordinating with the government during power outages and rationing. Orderly power utilization and interruptible load management fall within the realms of administrative directives and market regulations, respectively. The former is characterized by its compulsory nature, efficiency, and stratification, while the latter relies on civil contracts to incentivize users to voluntarily reduce their load.
