Energy efficiency plays an important role in mitigating energy security risks and emission problems. In this paper, energy efficiency resources are modeled as efficiency power plants (EPP) to evaluate their impacts on generation expansion planning (GEP). The supply curve of EPP is proposed using...

This paper proposes a novel approach for distributed energy resource (DER) expansion planning from investors' viewpoint based on a combination of dynamic programming algorithm and game theory. An innovative framework is proposed in this paper to consider different aspects of distributed energy...

Spinning Reserve is one of the ancillary services which is essential to satisfy system security constraints when the power system faces with a contingency. In this paper, Day Ahead Demand Response Program as one of the incentive-based Demand Response programs is implemented as a source of...
