Abstract: Electricity distribution is moving towards active, more flexible, smarter and decentralized energy systems. This transition requires System Operators (SO) to dynamically monitor and control the power flow across the network. Demand Response (DR) can be considered as an alternative solution to the costly investment of upgrading conventional Distribution Networks (DN). Hence, the role of DR as a considerable potential of elastic demands in the Active Distribution Network Management (ADNM) is vital. The aim of this paper is to review the recent literature and pilot implementations towards residential DR activation and applications at the electricity distribution level. Background concepts, DR programmes and key participants in ADNM are explained. DR activation strategies for residential demand responsiveness at the network level are categorized and discussed together with the challenges and future directions of this technology. The most relevant DR innovation trials in Great Britain (GB) and their outcomes are also discussed.
