Abstract: As an essential tool to enhance efficiency and reliability of global power grids, demand response can be an ideal breakthrough point in the construction of modern strong smart grid in China. This paper explores the implementation of demand response in PJM Interconnection and analyzes related benefits. A broader approach to demand response in PJM, price responsive demand(PRD), is investigated from the aspects of system operation and market mechanism. Based on the operational experiences of PJM and the current status of Chinese power grids, several measures are suggested in order to implement demand response in China.
