DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY INTEGRATED SMART GRID USING LOAD SHIFTING TECHNIQUES

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change has led to introduction of new reforms for cleanpower plan such as decarbonization of power sector, planned decommissioning of thermal power plants and inclusion of renewable energies for power production. But this desired integration of renewable energy resources to power system faces two technical challenges: variability and uncertainty. An effective energymanagement with help of smart grid engineering can be the key for its beneficial use. Demand Side Management (DSM) is a valuable strategy for energy management in smart grid. It supports numerous smart grid functionalities for instance electricity market control, Load scheduling, managing decentralized distributed energy resources. Identifying energy consumption patterns and to sketch electricity load profiles can beachieved through numerous DSM based programs. Load shifting based DSM can be linked to consumer’s behavior in understanding their pattern of energy consumption. Here, the practiced load shifting based demand side management approach can help in maximizing power efficiency, sustaining power reliability and resiliencyof renewable sources. This paper reviews the various energy management strategies developed to minimize the impact of renewable energy intermittency using Load Shifting Demand Side Management (DSM) approach.
