Multi-Dimensional Assessment for Residential Lighting Demand Side Management: A Proposed Framework

Effective Demand Side Management (DSM) practices require adequate assessment in which several important factors are taken into consideration. Criteria to measure DSM potential and set DSM targets are substantial to be well predefined. The aim of this paper is to propose assessment
framework towards effective residential lighting demand side management planning. The assessment involves multi-dimensional factors comprising technical, economic, society preference, and environmental emission along with their mean of analysis. Technical dimension in terms of electricity
demand is analyzed using Baseline Energy Use method whereas Life Cycle Cost analysis along with Cost-Benefit Assessment are used to calculate economic cost and other parameters during the project lifetime. Multi-criteria decision making using Analytic Hierarchy Process is performed to capture customer preference on selecting the preferable DSM loading scheme. In addition, environmental emission reduction potential is revealed using End-use Electricity Saving method.
