Demand response can provide a broad range of services to the power system, which are very beneficial today and whose need will grow constantly as the electricity sector moves towards decarbonisation. This is especially relevant for emerging economies, where the largest untapped potential for demand-side management can be found. This project analyses demand response in the wider framework of power sector regulation from a theoretical point of view, it reviews the implementation of DR schemes in emerging economies, and it presents a high-level blueprint for the deployment of demand response in developing countries.


Layman's summary: This project analyses demand response in the wider framework of power sector regulation from a theoretical point of view, it reviews some pioneering implementation of DR schemes in emerging economies, and it presents a high-level blueprint for the deployment of demand response in developing countrie
