Abstract(s)
The daily increment of the electricity demand in worldwide, obliges the electricity providers to hardly manage the relation between the generation and consumption. Therefore, the electricity operators should keep a gap between the total amount of generation and consumption in order to have not met the lack of energy generation, which leads to provide more energy resources. There is another solution to keep the gap between the amount of generation and consumption, which is defining such a program in specific periods for the demand side in order to reduce their consumption in response to the incentive paid by the electricity providers. This is defined as demand response program. These kinds of programs have been implemented worldwide, especially North America. Therefore, this paper provides a summarized report of the implemented DR programs on North American in 2015. More than 45 demand response programs have been surveyed and investigated. The main contribution of this paper is to compare the implemented DR programs parameters between 2013 and 2015. The results indicates that most of DR programs have kept the same values in the parameters, and there are several DR programs that they are not exist in 2013 and have been implemented in 2015.
