Abstract

A new methodology for customer prescreening of potential DSM participant is designed empowering the selectivity of a commercially used mass routine developed at Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain. In this price responsive demand management program a normalized inverted price tier is used as a base line for this method. The list of preselected customers resulting from this screening process is compared with that generated from the UPV method which has been in use in some European courtiers for some time. A few of the customers who were found to be in different priority levels under each list were investigated to optimize both methods. The versatility of this method is examined to suit different DSM categorized customers. It is found to be a helpful cross check method to avoid blind judgment based on collected electricity consumption data. Final customer groups and ranking are performed after the on premises load survey was conducted.
