OVERVIEW OF DEMAND RESPONSE THROUGH EXPERIENCE IN OPERATING ELECTRICITY MARKET IN SOME COUNTRIES

Abstract

In recent years, the emergence of renewable energy sources and distributed
generation patterns as well as an increase in electricity demand have caused
many countries and regions to have power systems operation problems. The
Demand Response (DR) program becomes a solution to make the power system
more efficient and has been applied in many electricity markets. Through the
survey and learning from international experiences, this study reviews the
demand response program in the electricity markets of Singapore, Korea and
Japan to give a good reference for building policy on DR at Vietnam.
