4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Demand response brasilia"

Does Brazil have a demand response program?

However, the Brazilian Demand Response experiences are still incipient. The Tariff Flags system, for example, is not a genuine demand response program. Demand response in Brazil has been focused on great consumers.

Why is demand response important?

Among these measures, demand response figures as one of great importance. It is based on electricity consumers' capability to respond to price signals, increasing the consumers' role in ensuring system security in a cost effective way.

What are the different types of demand response programs?

Pilot demand response program, voluntary demand reduction program, and structural demand response program

Is demand response an alternative to system flexibility?

This scenario results in a higher demand for cost efficient flexibility sources, and, although Brazilian experience with demand response programs is still incipient, as will be shown below, demand response represents an alternative of system flexibility, which tends to come into light in a near future. 4.1.
