The article describes the new implicit demand response method developed by the author, based on offering available capacity. The method is distinguished by promptly informing the customer about the amount of electrical power personally available to them for use at a given moment, which may be lower or higher than the contracted level, within the technical capabilities of the power grid and its delivery to the customer. In response, the customer may unconditionally use the offered capacity (default acceptance via implicit second-order feedback) or refuse to use it partially or completely (via explicit first-order feedback), in particular in exchange for other benefits. The new method is based on the use of extended two-way communication between the power system and each individual customer (subscriber) through smart electricity meters integrated into widely deployed smart metering systems built on the principles of interoperability and cybersecurity. The availability of extended real-time two-way communication makes it possible to promptly redistribute available capacity among all customers on the basis of impartiality and fairness, taking into account individual power consumption patterns, in particular under conditions of instability of power generation from renewable energy sources, as well as the occurrence of capacity shortages in the Integrated Power System of Ukraine. The developed new method of implicit demand response will create conditions for optimal and efficient use of available capacity, taking into account the current needs of each customer. This will ensure a reliable power supply to customers both under conditions of capacity shortage and under conditions of unstable generation, and will also contribute to increasing the productivity of power generated by renewable energy facilities.
