In recent years, electricity demand response (DR) has attracted attention as the most cost-effective way to balance the electricity grid. This study analyzes the preferences of South Korean energy consumers on residential DR and calculated the potential capacity of peak reduction in summer. The estimation demonstrates that consumers have heterogeneous preferences for automated residential DR programs and highly value reducing their monthly electricity bills. A scenario analysis shows that approximately 60.0% of metropolitan consumers in South Korea would participate in a residential DR program, and the corresponding reduction in the peak load is forecasted to be approximately 1.74 GW.

近年来，电力需求响应（DR）作为平衡电网的最经济有效的方式引起了人们的关注。这项研究分析了韩国能源消费者对住宅灾难恢复的偏好，并计算了夏季峰值降低的潜在能力。该估计表明，消费者对自动住宅灾难恢复计划有不同的偏好，并且可以降低他们的每月电费。情景分析显示，韩国约有60.0％的大城市消费者将参与住宅灾难恢复计划，并且预计峰值负载的相应减少将约为1.74 GW。
