Incentives for industrial loads to provide demand response on day-ahead and reserve markets are affected both by network tariffs, as well as regulations on the provision of flexibility in different markets. This paper uses a numerical model of the chlor-alkali process with a storable...

In recent years, demand response and load control automation has gained increased attention from regulators, system operators, utilities, market aggregators, and product vendors. It has become a cost-effective demand-side alternative to traditional supply-side generation technologies to balance...

This paper proposes a new wind offering strategy in which a wind power producer employs demand response (DR) to cope with the power production uncertainty and market violations. To this end, the wind power producer sets demand response (DR) contracts with a DR aggregator. The DR aggregator...

The potential to reschedule part of the electricity demand in energy systems is seen as a significant opportunity to improve the efficiency of the systems, especially on remote and isolated systems. From the supply point of view, that flexibility might bring significant improvements to the...

Demand Response (DR) is one of the typical methods for optimizing load characteristics in power systems. Utilities offer DR schemes to generate incentives toward consumers’ power consumption behavior for load optimization. In tariff planning, power consumption variation is an important issue...

Today’s major developments in the production and demand of electricity in domestic areas make it increasingly important that domestic electricity demand can respond to the availability of electricity. Energy management systems and smart appliances can facilitate this by supporting the user to...

Meeting time-varying peak demand poses a key challenge to the U.S. electricity system. Building-based electricity storage – to enable demand response (DR) without curtailing actual appliance usage – offers potential benefits of lower electricity production cost, higher grid reliability, and...

The main goal of Distribution Automation (DA) is the real-time operation, usually without operator intervention, of distribution systems as a consequence of load demand or power generation variations and failure conditions in the distribution systems. As real time voltage control is known as a...

The future power system is characterized by more renewable and uncontrollable capacity at the supply side and an electrification of energy at the demand side. Both evolutions increase the need for flexibility in the power system. Although this flexibility can be triggered at the supply and...

Demand response (DR) has been considered as a generation alternative to improve the reliability indices of the system and load point. However, when the demand resources scheduled in the DR market fail to result in demand reductions, it can potentially bring new problems associated with...
