One of the challenges of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation is that the low-carbon alternatives, wind, solar, marine and nuclear, are not so easily controllable. This makes it difficult for the grid operator to continuously balance the generation with the demand (a fundamental requirement of power system operation). Energy storage can help but remains expensive on the required scale. Having some control over the demand can be an economic alternative and is known as Demand Side Management (DSM). In many cases, an electrical load, such as air-conditioning, can be operated a little earlier or later without degrading its performance. This is known as Load Shifting and is a very useful aspect of DSM. Loads amenable to DSM can be quite small individually and can be geographically spread throughout the network; a system to employ many such loads for DSM is known as Distributed DSM and is the subject of this project.The team at Loughborough will contribute system modelling and control architecture expertise to a TSB demonstration project, which aims to demonstrate Distributed DSM (D-DSM) as a service to the UK grid operator. This will provide fast response in order to reduce reliance on conventional generation for grid balancing and security and thus permit much greater penetration of renewables and aid in maximising the use of existing assets. The project will deliver a large-scale demonstration of the control of commercial air-conditioning (a/c), with the managed demand aggregating up to the order of megawatts. The project will also deliver a communications, metering and remuneration framework. This framework will be scalable and suitable for extension to other types of distributed demand and to the control of distributed energy resources (e.g. domestic smart appliances and distributed CHP). The value and scope for wide-scale application of the technology across the UK (in terms of financial and carbon savings) will be determined via software modelling and the results of the practical trial.

减少我们对化石燃料发电的依赖的挑战之一是，低碳替代品，风，太阳能，海洋和核不容易控制。这使得网格操作员很难将一代人不断平衡（电力系统操作的基本要求）。储能可以帮助，但在所需的规模上仍然保持昂贵。对需求有一定的控制是一种经济选择，被称为需求侧管理（DSM）。在许多情况下，可以在不降低其性能的情况下更早或更晚进行电气负载（例如空调）。这被称为负载转移，是DSM的一个非常有用的方面。 DSM适合的负载可以单独地很小，并且可以在整个网络上分布在地理上。一个用于DSM的许多这样的负载的系统被称为分布式DSM，是该项目的主题。Loughborough的团队将为TSB演示项目贡献系统建模和控制体系结构专业知识，该项目旨在演示分布式DSM（D-DSM）作为向英国电网运营商提供的服务。这将提供快速的响应，以减少对传统生成的网格平衡和安全性的依赖，从而使可再生能源的渗透更大，并有助于最大程度地利用现有资产的使用。该项目将对商业空调（A/C）的控制进行大规模演示，托管需求汇总到兆瓦的命令。该项目还将提供通信，计量和薪酬框架。该框架将是可扩展的，适合扩展到其他类型的分布式需求以及分布式能源（例如国内智能设备和分布式CHP）的控制。英国技术广泛应用的价值和范围（就财务和碳储蓄而言）将通过软件建模和实际试验的结果确定。
