In recent years, consumer demand flexibility, known as demand response (DR), has increasingly become a key feature in the design and operation of electricity systems. By linking end-user consumption and production to dynamic system management, these demand response programs have achieved significant operational efficiencies, such as mitigating real-time constraints and lowering wholesale prices and end-customer costs.
