Using Demand Side Management in Energy-Intensive Industries for Providing Balancing Power - the Estonian Case Study

This paper represents the preliminary study results of industrial consumers who would be willing to provide demand response services for system balancing. Using aggregated load shifting in a wood industry over the whole Baltic power system for regulation is discussed. The paper covers the main aspects and assumptions used to assess the possible demand response outcomes for the transmission system operator in terms of regulation costs. The aim of the paper is to show that demand response can be deployed and consumers are willing to participate in providing demand response services for the transmission system operator, who should use this information as an input for developing the necessary market entity for balancing services.
