intelligent power utilization addresses the flexible bilateral interaction between power grid and users
which leads to great changes in the power consumption mode. In order to provide references for the developing intelligent power utilization
several key research issues
such as the related theory and technology and operation mechanisms
are summarized. The current status and trends of intelligent power utilization and the important problems that need to be further studied are discussed in this paper. Based on the theories of demand response (DR)
the response mechanism of DR resources is studied to obtain optimal allocation. Then
the bi-directional interactive technology implementations are analyzed to promote engineering application of theoretical models. Furthermore
the commercial operation modes of intelligent power utilization
the impacts of electricity market environment
relevant policies
and technology standardization are all summed up. Extended applications of intelligent power utilization on the power system’s green operation and the blend with new technology are briefly treated. This work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 71471036
