Demand-side management (DSM) potentials are calculated in function dsm_cts_ind_processing.
Potentials relevant for the high and extra-high voltage grid are identified in the function dsm_cts_ind,
potentials within the medium- and low-voltage grids are determined within the function dsm_cts_ind_individual
in a higher spatial resolution. All this is part of the dataset DsmPotential.
The implementation is documented in detail within the following student work (in German): [EsterlDentzien].
Loads eligible to be shifted are assumed within industrial loads and loads from Commercial, Trade and Service (CTS).
Therefore, load time series from these sectors are used as input data (see section ref:elec_demand-ref).
Shiftable shares of loads mainly derive from heating and cooling processes and selected energy-intensive
industrial processes (cement production, wood pulp, paper production, recycling paper). Technical and sociotechnical
constraints are considered using the parametrization elaborated in [Heitkoetter]. An overview over the
resulting potentials for scenario eGon2035 can be seen in figure Aggregated DSM potential in Germany for scenario eGon2035. The table below summarizes the
aggregated potential for Germany per scenario. As the annual conventional electrical loads are assumed to be lower in the
scenario eGon100RE, also the DSM potential decreases compared to the scenario eGon2035.

DSM is modelled following the approach of [Kleinhans]. DSM components are created wherever respective loads are seen. Minimum and maximum shiftable power per time step depict time-dependent charging and discharging power of a storage-equivalent buffers. Time-dependent capacities of those buffers account for the time frame of management bounding the period within which the shifting can be conducted. Figure Time-dependent DSM potential at one exemplary bus shows the resulting potential at one exemplary bus.
