The paper describes a demand-side response schemeconsisting of computer-controlled switches operated at enduserspremises to shift loads targeting a homogenized nationaldemand profile. The paper presents further simulation of theeconomic model corresponding to the above described schemerepresenting an incentive-based demand response. In thesimulation the impact of these programs on load shape andpeak load magnitudes, financial benefit to users as well asreduction of energy consumption are shown. The resultsdemonstrated more homogenized load curves at lesser peakload magnitudes and reduced energy cost.
