Abstract
Demand response has not been widely accepted by the residential consumer, in part due to the lack of understanding of how average residential energy consumers will behave under different scenarios. The objective of this study is to examine consumer energy management strategies in emergency demand response using a survey. Participants were given a scenario where they were the owner of a single-family house and had participated in an emergency demand response program, and answered questions related to electricity usage. Results showed that between 27 and 39 % of the participants were willing to turn off the AC in the emergency demand response. More than 86 % of the participants were willing to change the AC setting to some extent. The higher the bonus was, the more participants were willing to do so. Willingness of postponing the use of other appliances highly depends on the category of the appliances.
