Hi Chittesh,

There are numerous work done on demand response area. Generally the responsive loads that are used to realize the demand response can be classified as:

1. Curtailable loads

2. Flexibeloads.

-In the context of curtailable loads there will be a provision to reduce the load by the utility themselves (after having an agreement with the consumer) or the customer themselves based on the electricity price variation (utility will notify the customer). The customer will be get paid a certain incentive based on the amount of load curtailed in this method.  Please refer:

Anand, M. P., Ongsakul, W., & Singh, J. G. (2015). Impact of Economic Dispatch in a Smart Distribution Network considering Demand response and Power market  (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?reload=true&arnumber=7235105)

-On the other hand flexible loads can be used to schedule their power consumption during off-peak/low or power price hours. This could be beneficial for both customers as well as the utility. The custimer can here save some of his money by rescheduling his loads from peak to off peak hours. 

(Please refer: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=7064916)

Altogether the demand response can be well utilized to schedule the distribution system in cintext of day-ahead power market and will help the utilities to less upgrade the existing power transmission/distribution assets.

Hi Chittesh, here are some links that you mind find interesting.

This work tries to use demand response to reduce the payments related to active energy losses in distribution networks.

Data Loss minimization or loss payment minimization ?

I present "real time demand response model".

it is a new topic in power systems.

a lot of work or material available on demand side management or demand response management. try online demand response management 

There are many areas: load characterization,  models for tariff schemes, demand response techniques . 

I'm working on strategic planning of demand side management

Possible work may be:

a) Peak load reduction

b) minimization of electric supply cost

3) load balancing 

4) optimum load distribution (level and time) planning 

Hello Chittesh,

I started recently working on a project called: Improvement of Power Quality in Microgrids and Optimization Algorithm to Determine Demand Response Management (DRM) and Generation Schedule. I can email you the rest of the proposal's abstraction and introduction if you like.

YES 

demand side management is possible. it is not only helpful to utility but also beneficial for the consumers.   

demand side management can play an important role to reduce the conversion losses in the storage and converters is grid connected as well as island microgrid feed with the RES.

Hello! 

There is an intricate difference between DR and DSM. It is possible to say that DSM includes DR and is more general. You may like to refer to my recent paper: " Demand Response for Residential Electric Vehicles With Random Usage Patterns in Smart Grids". There are various topics and models you can consider and work on!  

This question is difficult to reply. It required for more information. From my knowledge, DSM is the term used in a traditional meaning of energy conservation or peak shaving programs on demand of end user`s side. Demand Response have more wide varieties of meaning. For example, in Thailand, DR had studied on a flexible demand and available generation (emergency) from  large industrial sectors to provide as a generation reserve for maintaining frequency of a bulk system under peak period and any emergency circumstances. The context of DR is also used in a smartgrid. The research is emphasized on various  methodology of managing demand in a modernized grid to serve several purposes.

There are several definitions for the terms DR and DSM.I recommend this publication to NERC, which presents a comprehensive classification scheme. In those categories you can find research topics
