1. Study of Demand Response’s Effect in Accommodating Renewable Energy Penetration in the Smart Grid Study of Demand Response’s Effect in Accommodating Renewable Energy Penetration in the Smart Grid Sun Yang Department of International Cooperation National Energy Administration People’s Republic of China

2. Background The penetration of large-scale centralized renewable energy has become a global issue with more and more attention on renewable energy development for the shortage of conventional energy source and climatic change, that the volatility and intermittent of renewable generation not only makes inefficient use of renewable resources, but also adds uncertainty to the power system planning and operation, which goes against the stable and economic operation of power grid. Demand response can promote the interaction of “Source-Load” through incentives and price signals on the basis of real-time output status of renewable generation, encouraging demand side to participate in power grid operation actively to accommodate renewable energy penetration effectively. So study of demand response’s effect in accommodating renewable energy penetration is very important for us now.
