Abstract
Demand-side management (DSM) programs consist of the planning, implementing, and monitoring activities of electric utilities that are designed to encourage consumers to modify their level and patters of electricity usage. In the past, the primary objective of most DSM programs was to provide cost-effective energy and capacity resources to help defer the need for new sources of power, including generating facilities, power purchases, and transmission and distribution capacity additions. Recent developments in distributed power generation technology brings extra flexibility into existing DSM schemes. Many utilities have implemented various DSM programs to help them in problematic times of the power system. This paper explains how existing DSM ideas can be supplemented by the use of distributed power generation technology. More specifically it compares the economic aspects of using demand management contracts with the use of distributed power generation. In some cases it is more beneficial to use distributed generation with demand management contracts.
