N2 - This paper examines the potential for Demand Side Management and Dynamic load shifting to increase the theoretical limit imposed on Wind Energy integration. This limit is determined by the financial implications of wind energy curtailment. The following analysis uses the heating schedule of a domestic immersion water heater to show that price driven demand flexibility can increase this limit while offering financial benefits to the consumer. Furthermore, the increased use of wind generated electricity and a minimal increase in overall demand results in reduced consumption of conventionally generated electricity.
