Reviewing Demand Response for Energy Management with Consideration of Renewable Energy Sources and Electric Vehicles

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This review paper critically examines the role of demand response (DR) in energy management, considering the increasing integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and the rise in electric vehicle (EV) adoption. As the energy landscape shifts toward sustainability, recognizing the synergies and challenges offered by RESs and EVs becomes critical. The study begins by explaining the notion of demand response, emphasizing its importance in optimizing energy usage and grid stability. It then investigates the specific characteristics and possible benefits of incorporating RESs and EVs into DR schemes. This assessment evaluates the effectiveness of DR techniques in leveraging the variability of renewable energy generation and managing the charging patterns of electric vehicles. Furthermore, it outlines important technological, regulatory, and behavioral impediments to DR’s mainstream adoption alongside RESs and EVs. By synthesizing current research findings, this paper provides insights into opportunities for enhancing energy efficiency, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and advancing sustainable energy systems through the coordinated implementation of demand response, renewable energy sources, and electric vehicles.
