A Multi-Objective Method to Design Demand Response Strategies for Power Systems Including Wind Power Generation

摘要

The uncertainty and variability of renewable energy sources, wind energy in particular, poses serious challenges for the optimal operation and planning of power systems. In this paper, in order to obtain flexible market conditions while power generated by renewable units is short and supply and demand are imbalanced, a Demand Response (DR) strategy is studied to provide network requirements, because Demand Response Programs (DRPs) improve demand potential and increase security, stability and economic performance. The proposed hybrid model created by the integration of wind energy and DR using Time of Use (ToU) or Emergency DRP (EDRP) improves supply and demand. The problem is solved considering the Independent System Operator (ISO) and using a stochastic multiple-objective (MO) method. The objective is to simultaneously minimize the operation costs and the environmental pollution while assuring compliance of network security constraints and considering multiple economical and technical indexes.
