Smart grid is envisioned as the modernization of the nation’s electricity transmission and distribution system to maintain a reliable and secure electricity infrastructure that can meet future demand growth and integrate renewable energy sources. It involves significant new research challenges. Demand and Response (DR), which refers to the dynamic demand mechanisms to manage electricity demand in response to supply conditions, is one of the most important functions of smart grid. DR offers several benefits, including reduction of peak demand, participant financial benefits, integration of renewable resources, and provision of ancillary services. This chapter surveys the ongoing research through elaborating a representative number of DR methods and discusses future directions.

The National Grid employs demand-side response service—the Direct Demand system of Free Energi to balance supply and demand through the power grid of the UK. Open Energi says that the network aggregates the use of energy from across customer sites to provide a fast, flexible solution compared to a power station; instead of adjusting supply to match demand, it changes production to meet production. Dynamic Demand is intended to provide the National Grid with a quick response to demand and allow consumers to better monitor their consumption, thus freeing up electricity for the entire grid.

Recently, market demand for clean energy, combined with government regulation, is driving the penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) like fuel cells, photovoltaics (PV), and wind power into the modern electric grid. For a smart energy system, as defined by Lund et al. (2012, 2017), Demand Response (DR) is similar to a traditional grid's dynamic demand mechanisms, by managing consumption of electricity in response to supply conditions, for example, having building managers reduce their consumption at critical times or in response to market prices (Lasseter et al. 2002). Smart Buildings can be ‘prosumers’ – both consumers and producers of energy that contributes to grid stability (Lawrence et al. 2016). To maximize the demand response potential in smart grids, advanced DR programs and integrating innovative enabling technologies are needed (Siano 2014).
