Demand Side Management is a mechanism to influence customer’s
CAPABILITY and WILLINGNESS to reduce electricity consumption.
•
Demand Side Management is a utility program aiming to fine-tune
consumer’s energy consumption pattern, according to the utility’s
energy production and distribution capacity.
•
Demand-side management(DSM) programs consist of the planning,
implementing and monitoring activities of electric utility that are
designed to encourage consumers to modify their level and pattern of
electricity usage.
3
•
Demand Side Management relies on a combination of using high
efficiency equipment and efficient use of electricity through good
operating practice.
•
Demand-side management(DSM) is the implementation of policies and
measures which serve to control, influence and generally reduce electricity
demand.
• DSM aims to improve final electricity-using systems, reduce consumption,
while preserving the same level of service and comfort.

OBJECTIVES OF DSM
1: Reliability and Stability
 DSM provides enhanced reliability to the energy system by reducing
overall demand through energy efficiency and by reducing peak demand
through dispatchable programs.
 It also reduces transmission and distribution costs relative to a supply side
resource.
 DSM increases diversity of energy sources.
5
OBJECTIVES OF DSM
2: Low Cost / Affordability
 The cost of DSM is technology specific and varies relative to other supply
side resources.
 Dispatchable DSM programs can be called when their cost is lower then
alternative market purchases.
 Cost-effective resource planning can ensure that DSM is only procured up
to the point where it is cheaper than supply alternatives.
 DSM can also help low-income customers reduce their energy costs.
6

Following three factors reduce energy consumption(kWh) and peak
demand (kW), however, emphasis differs
i.
Energy Efficiency – emphasis is on reducing overall energy
consumption and also peak demand over several years.
ii.
Peak Load Management – emphasis is on reducing peak demand
consistently over a season.
iii.
Demand Response – emphasis is on reducing peak demand for
short periods of time for a few days during the year.
7

For Promotion of various Energy Efficient / DSM methods in the state
following steps were taken:
i.
National Energy Conservation Day observed on 14th December.
(G.o.I has enacted The Energy conservation act 2001).

Earth Hour observed by all the employees of BESCOM in offices and
their residences. Public were also requested to participate.
(Earth Hour was observed on 23rd March 2013 from 8.30PM to 9.30PM
by switching off all the unnecessary lights).

1. BESCOM EFFICIENT LIGHTING PROGRAM
A Pilot Project was undertaken during 2005-06 for the first time in
India under USAID in Bangalore city as desired by BEE.,MOP.
M/S. International Institute for Energy Conservation(IIEC),
Washington were consultants for BESCOM
CFL Purchase Options
Under this scheme consumers were encouraged to purchase CFLs directly from
suppliers or from BESCOM on a monthly instalment basis paid through
electricity bills.
Benefits derived

Estimated that about 1.81 Lakhs additional CFLs were sold during the
scheme implementation.

About 100% increase in sales of CFLS was observed compares to the
previous year which resulted in:
 Reduction in residential demand to an extent of 10.46MWs.
 This Pilot Project encouraged in formulation of Bachat Lamp Yojana in
the country.
It enforced manufacturers to give one year warranty to the customers.
This scheme lead to regulation stipulating a minimum power factor of
0.85 for CFLs.
12
1.a. Bachat Lamp Yojane Scheme :• Bachat Lamp Yojane, a scheme to promote replacement of
CFLs in the place of incandescent lamps under CDM project
promoted by M.o.P., G.o.I., was implemented during 2011.
•The difference amount of CFL cost to be obtained by the
implementing agency through CDM in the form of trading
CERs.
•M/S. HPL Socomac private Lt., Bangalore 560001, was
entrusted for two rural Circles namely Bangalore rural Circle
and Kolar Circle covering 4 districts wide GM(Proc),
BESCOM order no. BC-51/F-485/08-09 Dated: 22.05.2010
as follows.
13
•A total no. Of 37.01,368 CFLs were distributed during 2011 as detailed are shown
below:
14
 The Salient features of the scheme are as follows:
i.
The warranty period shall not be less than 18 months from the date of
fixing of CFL to the household.
ii. The power factor shall not be less than 0.85
iii. Free replacement of fused distributed CFLs within two years for 6000
hour CFL’s and within three years for 10,000 hour lamps during the
life of the CDM project. It will be the responsibility of the successful
firm for collection of fused CFLs through buy-back scheme and
arrangements for their safe disposal as per environmental guidelines.
iv. A maximum of 4 CFLs shall be replaced in exchange of an
incandescent lamp (ICL) at a cost of INR 15 per house hold. These
CFLs shall be compliant with the existing National Regulations in
force viz. IS-15111:2012 (As per BEE and BLY guidelines)

2.a. BESCOM EFFICIENT IRRIGATION PUMP SETS PROGRAM
A Pilot Project was conducted during 2005-06 for the first time in
the country as follows:
 Innovative Bescom Efficient Irrigation Pump Sets Program (BEIP) scheme
was launched, supported by International Copper Promotion Council (India).
M/S International Institute for energy conservation(IIEC), Washington were
consultants for BESCOM.
• The official suppliers were (selected through tender)
i. M/s Kirloskar Brothers Ltd
ii. M/s KSB Pumps Ltd
iii. M/s Crompton Greaves Ltd
• A total number of 1074 nos of submersible pump sets were replaced by
Energy Efficient IP Sets under the scheme.
•Manufacturers offered a warranty of 18 months for pump and offered
attractive rates for energy efficient I.P.sets.
17
2.b. Agriculture Demand Side Management, WENEXA-USAID
 On 06.07.2009, BESCOM launched Distribution Reform Upgrades
Management (DRUM) project, water and energy Nexus activity phase II
(WENEXA II) both conducted under the aegis of India’s Ministry of Power
(MoP) and United States International Development Agency (USAID) / India.
 The DRUM project established a pilot site at Doddaballapur to help
BESCOM. Create of excellence which will serve as a model to be sealed up
and replicated else where.
 Electricity used for irrigation pumps is highly inefficient with pump
efficiencies of 30% and less. However farmers are unwilling to invest in these
improvements because the present tariff regime does not provide financial
incentive to do so. Therefore BESCOM has designed and implemented an
integrated system improvement and demand side management.
18
 Hence BESCOM planned an initiative called replacing inefficient irrigation
pump sets by high efficient pump sets on HVDS feeders at Doddaballapur SubDivision as a pilot project
• M/s ENZEN Global Solutions, an ESCO was engaged for replacement of
existing IP sets in Doddaballapura on11KV feeders under USAID WENEXA. This ESCO Agriculture Demand Side Management model was
designed by BESCOM in association with USAID-PA Consulting.
• BESCOM was able to successfully establish a system of appointing ESCO
and has been awarded with “National Power Award-2009” under category
“ENERGY EFFICIENCY, CONSERVATION AND DEMAND SIDE
MANAGEMENT” for Agriculture Demand Side Management initiative.
19
• This pilot is the first of its kind in India to undertake Agriculture.
Demand Side Management under ESCO model.
• A total number of 277 inefficient Pump sets at metered locations in
Doddballapura Sub-Division were replaced by High Energy Efficient
Pump Sets.
• BESCOM has saved 29.23 Million units from this project between April
2011 to June 2013 at Doddaballapura and the project details are mentioned
in the following slide:

• A contract agreement was signed on 07-08-2013 between BESCOM and
M/S. Energy Efficient Service Ltd., a joint venture company of public
sector units (PSU’s) of Ministry of Power, New Delhi for Agriculture
Demand side Management i.e., for preparation of DPR to replace one lakh
nos. of less efficient IP sets by highly efficient pump sets without any
financial commitment to BESCOM as follows:
