1) The document discusses a research project analyzing how distributed demand response (DR) resources on the island of Gotland could help integrate additional wind power capacity into the local distribution network.
2) The research used real wind power and load data from 2012 to model different DR clusters and scenarios, including detached houses, industries and an energy storage system.
3) The results found that a minimum of 1300-1700 DR participants could help balance up to 5 MW of additional wind power across different seasons and scenarios while maintaining customer comfort levels. Participation from large industries further reduced the required cluster size.
4) While the study had some limitations, it demonstrated the potential benefits of DR for the Smart Grid Gotland project's objectives
