What are the difference between Load Shape and Load Level in Demand Side Management? Thank you for the help.

Solution

Demand-side Management (DSM) is a service offered by utilities, energy suppliers or private companies to the customers in order to improve the performance of energy systems and getting the best value from their energy expenses.

Load Level means to identify a wasteful demand and control the levels of supplies to such a demand.

Load Shape means easy redistribution of power requirements to different times (to overcome high peaks, little reserve capacity, bottlenecks in transmission and distribution).
