Testing effective DSM solutions (A3.2.4)

This report presents the development of practical, yet effective, Demand - Side Management (DSM) scenarios that can be applied to the different pilots of the BERLIN project. The application of such effective DSM scenarios through the 'virtual' testing of new Time-of-Use (ToU) tariffs (already developed for each country in deliverable A4.3.2) could have a positive impact on the consumption behaviour of the users. In this study, the scenarios are based on load shifting, which is applied through combined peak shaving and valley filling.
