Abstract
Demand side management has been one of the effective means of load shifting and peak-load shaving. In a system with distributed generations and distributed renewable energy sources, demand response can significantly improve the efficiency of electricity usage and energy saving. With the development of advance metering infrastructure, and information and communication technologies, demand side management will play an important role in smart grid. The power grid in China is highly interconnected by high voltage transmission links. The State Power Grid of China has made the strategy of developing smart grid. In this paper, we will introduce the situation of demand side management in China.
