Demand Side Management

Abstract

Energy crisis is a major problem in Bangladesh, not only Bangladesh it‟s a common problem all over the world. The consumption of electricity increasing highly day by day. To reduce electrical energy consumption there are some techniques like if the generation of electricity will be increased the consumption of electricity can be reduced. But increasing the generation of electricity involves creating new generating units or new power plant which is very cost effective and also destroyed the natural resources. Another method for reducing energy consumption is Demand Side Management. It is a process by which energy consumption can be reduced easily at a very low or no cost by using no energy resources. By using DSM technique carbon dioxide emission can be also reduced. In this thesis residential area Dhanmondi, Dhaka is taken for applying DSM method. Different types of DSM tools like Energy efficiency, Energy efficiency with solar system, direct load control, Time of use are used for reducing energy consumption. From the DSM tools „Energy Efficiency With Solar System‟ is taken as the best method for reducing electrical energy consumption.
