COURSE OVERVIEW:

Electrical Demand Side Management represents a critical shift in power system engineering, moving from passive supply to active load optimization to enhance grid stability and reduce costs. This course provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how utilities and consumers can collaborate to modify the patterns of electricity usage. Participants will explore the technical and economic drivers of DSM, focusing on how load-shaping strategies can mitigate the need for expensive infrastructure expansion while lowering carbon footprints.

The scope of this training addresses the wide array of DSM technologies, including peak clipping, valley filling, and strategic load shifting. It covers the technical nuances of implementing smart meters, automated demand response systems, and energy storage solutions within industrial and commercial facilities. The curriculum provides a systematic focus on the analytical tools used to audit energy consumption, identify wastage, and forecast future demand patterns to ensure a balanced and resilient power network.

Coverage includes the interpretation of complex utility tariffs and the application of incentive-based programs to encourage consumer participation. Attendees will learn to manage the integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicle charging into the demand side equation to optimize overall system efficiency. By combining engineering principles with economic strategy, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to design and implement effective DSM programs that satisfy both operational and financial objectives.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Explain the fundamental goals and benefits of Demand Side Management.
• Differentiate between Energy Efficiency (EE) and Demand Response (DR).
• Analyze load curves to identify peak demand and valley periods.
• Implement peak clipping and load shifting strategies in industrial sites.
• Evaluate the technical requirements for automated demand response.
• Conduct a professional energy audit to identify DSM opportunities.
• Interpret utility rate structures and Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing.
• Analyze the impact of DSM on power factor and power quality.
• Integrate energy storage and UPS systems into a DSM strategy.
• Utilize smart metering data for real-time demand monitoring.
• Evaluate the financial ROI of DSM technology investments.
• Communicate the value of DSM to stakeholders and facility owners.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Energy Managers, Electrical Engineers, Sustainability Officers, and Facility Professionals responsible for reducing energy costs and optimizing loads.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
