Demand Response Research Plan to Reflect the Needs of the California Independent System Operator

The goal of this research plan is to accurately relate the needs and concerns of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) staff regarding demand response to increase power system reliability. This research plan does not attempt to build or amplify on needs as they were expressed by the CAISO staff; rather, it is intended to accurately reflect the needs and concerns as they were presented to us and to look to the future.
