Enabling Distributed Generation and Demand Response with Enterprise Energy Management Systems

---

A White Paper by Rene Jonker and Patricia Dijak, Power Measurement Ltd., Victoria, BC, May 7, 2001

INTRODUCTION

An escalating demand for power has created two challenges for the energy industry: Today, the problem is lack of generation; five years from now, it will be bottlenecks in the transmission and distribution infrastructure. Although demand response can solve the short-term problem, only distributed generation can solve both.

Demand response and distributed generation programs are becoming reality thanks to breakthroughs in enterprise energy management (EEM) and alternative generation technologies. These tools can deliver the quantity, quality and cost of power mandated by an expanding digital economy, growing environmental concerns and deregulation.
