 How can we know how much DR we can rely on?  </div> <bR> <div> These are legitimate questions and ones many different audiences - not the least of which are policy makers - want to know the answers to.  The next offering in the DRCC Webinar Series will present the latest research in this area and discuss some of the ways these questions can be answered.  Our presenters will be:</div> <bR> <div> <B>Chuck Goldman          Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory </B></div> <bR> <div> Chuck was the lead on a recent project funded by the Department of Energy's [DOE] Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability that reviewed analytical methods and data that can support market assessments (e.g., for dynamic pricing tariffs) or market potential studies (e.g., for programmatic demand response) that can support these functions.  The report specifically looked at the following: </div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">a review of methods for estimating demand response and energy                          efficiency market potential</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">a proposed conceptual framework for estimating market potential for large customer demand response </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">participation rates and elasticity values compiled from six large customer dynamic pricing and demand response programs </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">several scenarios that demonstrate the estimation of large customer demand response market potential in an illustrative utility service territory </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">a research agenda that identifies additional information and improved methods that would support more reliable demand response market assessments </div> <bR> <div>             </div> <div> <B>Sam Newell          Brattle Group</B></div> <bR> <div> Sam was the lead on a recent study performed for the Mid-Atlantic Distributed Resources Initiative (MADRI) and PJM Interconnection that attempted to quantify the impact of demand curtailment on wholesale prices and customer costs in the MADRI States and in the broader PJM region.</div> <bR> <div> Specifically, the study used a simulation-based approach to quantify the market impact of curtailing 3% of load in the BGE, Delmarva, PECO, PEPCO, and PSEG zones during the top twenty 5-hour price blocks in 2005 and under a variety of alternative market conditions. Based on an assumption that all loads (i.e., customers or their retail providers) are exposed to spot prices, the study estimated price reductions could benefit non-curtailed loads in MADRI states by $57-$182 million per year. The potential benefits to the entire PJM system amount to $65-$203 million per year. This study also provides a rough estimate of benefits to DR program participants, from both an energy and capacity standpoint.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>What:      Webinar: Determining DR Potential and Benefits -</B></div> <div> <B>                 New Research Results</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>When:     Friday  March 16, 2007  </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>                 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Cost:       Free for State Regulators and Staff</B></div> <div> <B>                  (limit 3 registrations per state)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>                  $195.00 for all others</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Speakers:    </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>     </B><I><B>Chuck Goldman</B></I><B>,</B> Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory<B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>     </B><I><B>Sam Newell</B></I><B>, </B>Brattle Group</div> <div> <B>     </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Moderator:</B></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>      Dan Delurey</B></I><B>, </B>U.S. Demand Response Coordinating Committee </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>How To Register:</B></div> <div> You have two options to register: You can either download the registration form and fax it to 781-756-8008, or you can register online using the link below.
