While variable renewable energy source, VRE, such as photovoltaic power, rapidly increases, concerns over the shortage of downward adjustment margin of conventional large-scale power generation facilities become patent. We propose a new type of demand response, named iDR, which mitigates curtailment of over-generation of VRE by embracing a large number of pieces of small IoT appliances with minute energy demand particle size through IoT technology. Our potential simulation shows that the iDR is able to substantially mitigate the curtailment of photovoltaic over-generation by dispatching power consumption to iDR appliances using iDR applications.
