1. A method for reducing effects of a demand/response event in a power distribution network, the method comprising:
- identifying a load profile in the power distribution network;
in response to detecting a peak in the load profile, decreasing voltage in the power distribution network; and
in response to a detecting a trough in the load profile, increasing the voltage in the power distribution network.

Abstract
A method for reducing effects of a demand/response event in a power distribution network can include identifying a load profile in the power distribution network, in response to detecting a peak in the load profile, decreasing voltage in the power distribution network and in response to a detecting a trough in the load profile, increasing the voltage in the power distribution network.
