Abstract

Detroit Edison has accumulated 10 years' operating experience with a large-scale radio controlled electric water heater Load Management system. The limitations of the actual operating environment, both past and present, have greatly influenced Load Management strategies. Important lessons concerning cost effectiveness have been learned and must be applied to future. undertakings.
