Microscale Monitoring:Smart Meters • Plug load monitoring • Home area networks • Web-capable data collection and control systems
Demand Response Incoming price signals New thermostat shows price of electricity in ¢/kWhr + expected monthly bill.New meter conveys real-timeusage, back to service provider.Wireless beacons allow for fine-tuned comfort/control. Appliance lights show price level & appliances powered-down
Implications for LoCal • Monitor, Model, and Manage in complex multi-entity environment • Grid-level simulations incorporating market and demand response elements • Communications challenge: sensor collection, price communication, multi-level policy implementation • Integration of renewables • Implications for power quality, reliability
