Demand side management of a domestic dishwasher: Wind energy gains, financial savings and peak-time load reduction

► Intermittent energy sources require demand side flexibility to minimise curtailment. ► Financial savings can be achieved concurrently with increased demand on wind energy. ► Price optimisation of load provides benefits for consumers and grid operators alike. ► Dishwashers offer wide time frames within which load can be rescheduled. ► Price optimisation offers significant peak load reduction capabilities.
