Based on results of recent studies at the DLR System Analysis Group the presentation addresses three topics. In the first part it analyzes the technical potential for demand side Management. The second part investigates how demand side management will be used in future energy systems. The role of load managment in balancing and intraday markets is investigated as well as the potential for integration of renewables in the spot market are analyzed. In the final part potential game changers to the application of DSM and long term impact of DSM on the energy system are outlined.
