III. FUTURE POSSIBILITIES OF DSM IN UNIVERSITIES
Future electricity network will increasingly rely upon a set of
intelligent communication and control technologies [3]. Most
of the existing demand-side management programs in the
developed countries focus primarily on the interactions
between a utility company and its customers/users. With the
type of BMS installation discussed in the previous section, it
is possible to minimize the wastage and thus reduce the energy
consumption and the electricity bill without affecting the
comfort of the students and faculty members in the campus.
Once the BMS is implemented in all the buildings in the
campus, it may be interfaced with the utility power network
through the advanced metering infrastructure as shown in
Fig.4. The energy management gateway in the figure ensures a
secure connection of the campus building loads such as
AHUs, lifts, lights etc. with the utility network through the
