Abstract

Demand Response is a mechanism that provides financial incentives to facilities who agree to reduce electricity demand typically for short periods, in response to grid signals, when the electric grid needs support.It can be used during periods of peak energy use or grid emergencies, or also to prevent them, in order to reduce the system peak, stabilize grid frequency and reduce the dependency of fossil fuels. It can also contribute to make easier the integration of renewable energy sources in the power grid, thanks to the increment in operation flexibility obtained.This paper shows the Grid Flexibility 4 Chile Project, a lighthouse Project focused on improving power system flexibility through demand response, which provides a mechanism to modify power demand in response to grid signals using OpenADR communication protocol.
