Abstract
The demand side management (DSM) has been conceived to improve the efficiency and flexibility of the power grids. Currently, different types of DSM programs, such as demand response, the efficiency of power delivery, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) improvements and distributed energy storage, have been developed and implemented by different utility companies. Since DSM is not a one-size-fit-all program, detailed consumers’ consumption data are required to both develop and improve effective DSM programs for different consumers. The rapid expansion of the advanced metering infrastructure in recent years has produced an enormous amount of data which can be utilized by utility companies for the DSM applications. Based upon the consumption characteristics of different types of consumers, various DSM programs can be developed and applied accordingly. This article analyzes and studies the practical smart meter data of commercial consumers from New York City considering the potential of commercial consumers’ participation for DSM applications, and it provides a better understanding of the power consumption pattern of commercial consumers in the urban area. Both utility companies and commercial consumers could benefit from this article to develop and participate in DSM programs, respectively.
