Planning, implementation, and evaluation of utility-sponsored programs to influence the amount or timing of customers' energy use.
Managing the consumption of energy to optimize available and planned generation facilities. DSM programs include offering incentives to replace older, less-efficient appliances with high-efficiency units ad shifting the time at which electricity is consumed from periods of peak demand to periods of low system demand.
Demand Side Management. Actions undertaken to reduce the amount of energy required for end-use applications in residences, commercial buildings, or in industrial processes. Examples include installing high-efficiency light bulbs and appliances, improving insulation, and installing energy-efficient motors. Because reducing demand for energy can help avoid the need for new generating capacity, DSM activities are often cost-beneficial to electric utilities. To the extent that they reduce required generation, DSM activities also help to reduce emissions of CO2 and other pollutants.
Demand side management. The planning and implementation of strategies designed to encourage consumers to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, change the time of usage, or promote the use of different energy source.( 081)
Demand Side Management. Utility activities designed to influence the amount and timing of customer demand, producing changes to the
DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT. The methods used to manage energy demand including energy efficiency, load management, fuel substitution and load building. See LOAD MANAGEMENT.
Demand side management, a type of utility program designed to cut power demand on the utility by 1) using technology or 2) changing power use behavior within the customer's premises()
Demand Side Management. 1. Refers to measures taken by a utility to encourage conservation of electric usage or to reschedule electric usage for more uniform usage throughout the day or year. Such efforts are intended at minimizing the size and number of generating facilities or designing strategic load growth. 2. Planning, implementation, and evaluation of utility-sponsored programs to change the timing or reduce the amount of a customer's energy consumption.
Demand Side Management. The planning, implementation and evaluation of conservation and load manipulation to use electricity more efficiently.
Demand Side Management. Measures or programs undertaken by a utility designed to influence the level or timing of customer demands for energy in order to optimize the use of available supply resources, thus allowing suppliers to defer the purchase of additional generating capacity.
DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT. The planning, executing and monitoring of utility activities designed to help customers use electricity more efficiently.
Demand Side Management. an attempt by utilities to reduce customers' demand for electricity or energy by encouraging efficiency.
Demand Side Management. Measures undertaken by utilities and/or consumers to control the level of energy usage at a given time, typically by decreasing total consumption or by shifting consumption to some other time period.
Demand Side Management. Refers to utility programs intended to affect the timing or amount of customer electricity use. These include energy efficiency programs aimed at reducing the energy required to serve customer needs and programs that shift electricity demand to reduce peak loads or to make more economic use of utility resources.
