Knigge, J. Slootweg, J.G. Faculty Industrial Design Engineering Department Product Innovation Management Date 2011-06-06 Abstract The energy transition poses challenges for maintaining the energy balance between demand and supply in the future. One of the solutions is Demand Side Management (DSM) where mobilizing flexibility in demand is the main objective. This paper summarizes two research projects on the economical and social aspects of DSM. These projects aim at the development of DSM instruments that are to be tested in a pilot project with over 300 residences. It is argued that objectives are to be interpreted in desired behaviour and desired behaviour should be translated into adequate DSM instruments. Four fields of attention were identified as relevant for instrument development; technology, incentives, interaction and communication.
