Abstract
Some distribution system operators (DSOs) - among them all Hungarian DSOs - have installed extensive demand-side management (DSM) infrastructure in order to be able to perform peak-clipping and valley-filling of the daily load curves. These systems rely either on the traditional ripple control (RC) or radio ripple control (RRC) technology. In this paper a short overview on the capabilities of these methods will be given, and compared to the DSM possibilities offered by Smart Metering (SM) based systems. In the focus of the paper a new modelling framework will be presented, which makes it possible to simulate the consumer behaviour on an appliance level in different DSM environments. The effects of direct DSM methods (like RC or RRC) and soft DSM (dynamic tariff systems) on the daily load curves will be analyzed in order to exploit the possibilities of SM systems.
