Abstract
More active demand side participation is promoted as a
solution to various problems in the electricity markets
and networks. Perhaps the most discussed option of
increasing consumer participation is demand response.
However, getting consumers to join programs that involve
variable prices and/or direct control of consumer
appliances may prove challenging. Consumers have doubts
about how much of their consumption they can shift and
direct control of appliances also raises many concerns
(e.g. how the control system adapts to changes in
consumer's own needs). Microgeneration can target many of
the same problems as demand response and it may also give
clearer signals to change consumption patterns.
