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，风能，太阳能，海洋和核能，并不容易控制。这使得电网运营商难以持续平衡发电与需求（电力系统运行的基本要求）。储能可以提供帮助，但在所需的规模上仍然昂贵。对需求进行一定程度的控制可能是一种经济的选择，称为需求侧管理（DSM）。在许多情况下，电力负载（如空调）可以稍微提前或延迟运行，而不会降低其性能。这被称为负荷转移，是DSM的一个非常有用的方面。适合DSM的负荷可以是相当小的单独的，可以在地理上分布在整个网络中;一个系统，采用许多这样的负荷DSM被称为分布式DSM，是这个项目的主题。在拉夫堡的团队将贡献系统建模和控制架构的专业知识TSB示范项目，其目的是演示分布式DSM（D-DSM）作为一种服务，以英国电网运营商。这将提供快速响应，以减少对传统发电的依赖，从而实现电网平衡和安全，从而允许可再生能源的更大渗透，并有助于最大限度地利用现有资产。该项目将提供商业空调（a/c）控制的大规模演示，管理的需求总计达兆瓦级。该项目还将提供一个通信、计量和薪酬框架。该框架将是可扩展的，并适合扩展到其他类型的分布式需求和分布式能源的控制（例如，家用智能电器和分布式热电联产）。该技术在英国大规模应用的价值和范围（在财务和碳节约方面）将通过软件建模和实际试验的结果来确定。
