Demand-Side Management
The IEA DSM Programme promotes energy efficiency and demand-side management
for global sustainable development and for business opportunities.
Electricity Networks Analysis, Research & Development (ENARD)
ENARD’s vision is to facilitate the uptake of new operating procedures,
architectures, methodologies and technologies in electricity transmission
and distribution (T&D) networks, such as to enhance their overall
performance in relation to the developing challenges of network renewal,
renewables integration and network resilience.
High-Temperature Superconductivity (HTS) on the Electric Power Sector
High temperature superconductors are ceramic materials which carry very
large electric currents in very small volumes, something that conventional
materials cannot do because of the energy dissipated in them.As a result
they have the potential to be cost-effective in commercial applications
in the electric power sector. The use of superconductivity can result
in substantial environmental improvements by energy saving, replacement
of oil in cables and transformers by inert liquid/gas nitrogen, and
by enabling more economic underground power transmission, thereby reducing
concerns about electro-magnetic radiation, visual pollution and noise.
