Abstract
Utilities can choose from at least a dozen manufacturers who market seven load-management technologies. Their choices will differ according to the degree of communications they want and their objectives in load management. The criteria they weigh in making the choice include ownership, access, tariffs, regulatory agencies, coverage, data rate, expandability, installation costs, operating costs, and serviceability. The author's comparisons favor bidirectional power-line carrier systems. (DCK)
