Best Practices
This section of the portal covers the best practices adopted to implement Demand
Side Management projects by the utilities in India and worldwide. More than 30
countries globally have adopted DSM measures to overcome the obstacles standing
in the way of rational energy utilization. Specific DSM applications differ in
each country depending on the Programme drivers and the local conditions.
In India, the DSM industry is still a nascent stage. Most of the projects
implemented by the distribution utilities are at pilot level trying to
establish a market
and reduce the uncertainty in energy savings. Different network driven DSM
case studies implemented by the state utilities across the country are
covered in
this section.
The case studies presented in this section can be broadly categorized under
the following sectors:
Residential Municipal Commercial Agriculture Industrial
Both International and Indian case studies have been prepared in a standard
format so that the readers can analyze the information provided under key parameters
of different projects and arrive at appropriate conclusions. This format will
also facilitate for a comprehensive comparative analysis between the DSM Programmes
implemented in India and worldwide.
The information shown in this module of the portal is gathered through extensive
secondary research from the reports, publications and websites of DSM experts
and various international organizations promoting energy efficiency across
the globe.
