What is DSR?
It is the ability of a consumer to reduce their
electrical energy demand at a specific moment. The
readiness to take such actions upon request is considered a
service. As a result, companies providing this service receive
appropriate compensation.
DSR stands for "Demand Side Response". The demand side
refers to energy consumers, and the response is their reduction in
electrical energy demand during peak demand hours, upon the request
of the transmission system operator (TSO), which in Poland is
Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne.
DSR is defined in the catalog of system services as the IRP
Service, which is one of many remedial measures used by the TSO to
maintain the stability of the National Energy System.
