Demand analysis
Government Functional Standard, GovS 008: Commercial, Version: 2.0, published by HM Government in September 2021, defines demand analysis or demand management as: ‘An approach to understanding, forecasting and influencing the requirements of the organisation through alignment with market capacity and capability.’
Planning our electric future: a White Paper for secure, affordable and low-carbon electricity, Glossary, published by the Department of Energy & Climate Change on 14 July 2011, defines demand management as: ‘Energy use management which includes demand side response, demand reduction and energy efficiency.
It defines demand reduction as: ‘Changing behavioural patterns to reduce the amount of energy consumed, for example through switching off lights when they are not needed.
And demand side response (DSR) as: ‘An active, short-term reduction in electricity consumption either through shifting it to another period, using another type of generation, or simple not using electricity at that time.’
