Demand side management of industrial electricity consumption: Promoting the use of renewable energy through real-time pricing

Applied Energy, 2014, vol. 113, issue C, 21 pages

Abstract: As the installed capacity of wind generation in Ireland continues to increase towards an overall goal of 40% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020, it is inevitable that the frequency of wind curtailment occurrences will increase. Using this otherwise discarded energy by strategically increasing demand at times that would otherwise require curtailment has the potential to reduce the installed capacity of wind required to meet the national 2020 target.
