Demand Side Management in Microgrids
For some time now, there has been growing concern about the continuous consumption of fossil fuels, coupled with issues of environmental depletion and low energy efficiency for electricity power generation and use. This has increased the use of alternative energy resources (wind, biomass, solar and hydro systems) in forms of distributed energy resources (DERs) or distributed generators (DGs) [1].
However, these distributed generators come with safe and efficient system operation challenges, which requires effective management, these challenges or issues can be addressed by Micro Grid system (MGs).

regulation, ramping, spin and non-spin reserves), these are required to make the power system stable with the integration of variable generation [4]. Demand Response could be very fast, such as using conservation voltage, or direct load control. In the ERCOT market, Demand Response is used to obtain a good percentage of its spinning reserves through a with its Loads-Acting-As-Resources (LAARs) market product. With continuous government support, the federal electricity regulatory commission (FERC) has instructed some ISO/RTOs to accept bids for some ancillary services equivalent to other resources …show more content…
However in transactive market, the consumer, uses interactive controllers that react to price changes and sends information back to the central controller, and automatically acting on behalf of the end-use load. [4].
Conclusion
Demand side management of the micro grid increases the reliability of the micro grid and efficiency by effectively managing the economics and technical techniques of the grid and it can also reduce the amount of money spent on energy by the consumers. This in perspective involves both the producers and consumers with the objective of maximizing
