Abstract
The increasing needs of human population and the supremacy of automation
in every day life, in addition to the environmental pollution and the
greenhouse gases have revealed the emergency of searching for different and
efficient ways to control and manage the energy consumed. In the same
direction, the local government in many countries has given strong financial
direct and indirect motivations for energy reduction, showing the importance
of the energy saving issue nowadays. One of the methods widely adopted in
some European countries for the reduction of electricity consumption is the
preordaining or not interruptions of specific loads in different premises
(houses, hotels, industries e.t.c). In this study, the results of real life
experiments are presented. Several load interruptions have been performed in
four sites in the region of Athens indicating of how the characterized as
"flexible" loads of each site as well as the site occupants respond to
certain interruptions.
