| Abstract: Utilities around the world are now considering Demand Side Management (DSM) in their strategic planning. The costs of constructing and operating a new capacity generation unit are increasing everyday, which force the utilities to search for another alternative without any additional constraints on customers comfort level or quality of delivered product. DSM encompasses a broad range of utility initiated activities to encourage end users to willingly modify their electricity consumption without any impact on service quality or customer satisfaction. It was found that an objective function reflecting the user electricity expenses did widely serve the best for both the electric utility as well as the end user. From a utility point of view, benefits are meterized as freed capacity, deferred investment or increased revenues. Other developed target objective functions such as maximizing the load factor or the utility revenues did serve to achieve its targets but without much impact on end user electricity expenses or even increased ones. From the customer's point of view, the objective is to decrease the amount of electricity bill. The main target of this paper is to derive a mathematical formulation for different DSM programs that can be designed subject to the different problems that may face the utilities, operators and engineers. | ||
