Abstract (2. Language):
Nowadays, demand response programs have gained
importance due to their purpose of improving the operation of
power systems. Demand response programs are divided into
two main categories of incentive-based and price-based
programs. The purpose of this paper is to model and analyze
two practical and substantial demand response programs that
correspond to the two types of customers in the distribution
system. In this regard, the interruptible load program is
intended for the industrial customers and the time-of-use
(TOU) pricing program is intended for the domestic customers.
The interruptible load program is a reward-based program
specific to peak hours; while the time-of-use pricing program is
based on three price tariffs throughout the day. An efficient
model based on the information of customer price elasticity is
used to analyze the customers’ response. Moreover, the level of
customers’ participation is taken into account in each program
using two parameters; and the effects of their probabilistic
participation are evaluated in three different simulation cases.
In order to analyze the proposed method, a case study is
considered and the evaluation indices of the load curve are
calculated and analyzed after executing the programs. The
simulation results clearly indicate the efficiency of the
proposed method.
