Research Reports International: Products

The 8th Edition of Research Reports International's The Status of U.S. Demand Response is a 70-page overview of the drivers of, barriers to, and use of demand response.

A fundamental imbalance looms between supply and demand and continues to threaten system stability, reliability, power quality, and the cost of power. While the industry has taken some steps to respond to this imbalance, to date it has not taken full advantage of business models that use demand modification as a solution. A major objective of this report is to provide readers with an understanding of where demand response currently stands in the U.S. and what needs to be done to increase its market penetration.

Topics covered in the report include:

Analysis of why demand response is needed to respond to recent changes in wholesale electric markets
Discussion of the evolution of demand response over the last four decades
Evaluation of contemporary demand response programs
Overview of current usage of demand response
Analysis of the key business factors that are driving increased interest in demand response
Analysis of the barriers that are hindering the implementation of demand response and how to resolve them
Description of the different types of demand response programs in use today
Quantification of the current usage of demand response

The Status of U.S. Demand Response comes in Adobe Acrobat PDF format and is available via electronic download, CD-ROM, or Hardcopy for $299.
