This webinar will present findings and conclusions drawn from a r ecently released Berkeley Lab report, "Barriers and Opportunites to Broader Adoption of IDSM at Electric Utilities: A Scoping Study" detailed at https://emp.lbl.gov/publications/barriers-and- opportunities-broader
Integrated demand-side management (IDSM) is a strategic approach to designing and delivering a portfolio of demand sid e management (DSM) programs to customers. IDSM typically delivers customer centric strategies with the goal of increasing the amount of DSM in the fie ld, but doing so in a way that integrates various measures and technologies to improve their collective performance and/or penetration. Specifically, IDSM can be defined as the integrated or coordinated delivery of three or more of: (1) energy efficiency (EE), (2) demand response (DR), (3) distribu ted generation (DG), (4) storage, (5) electric vehicle (EV) technologies, a nd (6) time-based rate programs to residential and commercial electric util ity customers. The electric industry’s limited experience deploying I DSM to date suggests that significant barriers may exist.
A Berkeley Lab report “Barriers and Opportunities to Broader Adoption of Integra ted Demand Side Management at Electric Utilities: A Scoping Study” ex plores recent electric utility experience with IDSM to provide an assessmen t of the barriers and potential benefits perceived or experienced by progra m administrators in their attempts to implement integrated programs. The re search draws on surveys and interviews with eleven staff from a sample of e ight DSM program administrators and program implementers who were currently implementing or had previously attempted to implement an IDSM program or i nitiative. Respondents provided their perspectives on drivers for IDSM and barriers to broader deployment. They also reported on actions they had unde rtaken to promote expanded delivery of IDSM and provided their assessments of the most important under-tapped opportunities for expanding IDSM efforts , both for program administrator and regulatory organizations.
