AbstractThis study has been carried out to assess the impacts on power generation planning of DSM program in Vietnam using integrated resource planning perspective during the period 2012-2030. The calculation is examined under various possible cases and different discount rates. WASP-IV model is used to find the optimal power generation expansion. The study shows the schedule to generate the power at optimal cost to satisfy power demand. Besides, it indicates that in next 20 years, if Vietnam only consider fossil fuels and hydropower, domestic resources is not enough for power generation. Imported coal would be the optimal option for power generation at least cost. Nuclear power plants would be new type of electricity generating technology. The study analyzes the impacts of DSM programs which will be implemented by EVN during the period 2012-2030. The DSM programs include three types of electric appliances: CFL, air conditioner and refrigerator. The role of each appliance will be assessed deeply in the study.
