Optimal power scheduling in the presence of renewable resources and energy storage systems considering demand response

摘要

The expansion of microgrids has increased the use of renewable energy sources. Since the power generation of these resources, as well as the load consumption of the consumers, are prone to the uncertainty, scenario generation method is used in order to consider different modes of generation and load consumption. Renewable energy sources, energy storage systems and responsive loads are suitable tools for reducing the power generation of fossil fuel units, which, in addition to high costs, produce environmental pollutants. To solve the AC power flow and see the effects of demand response programs on system losses, it is necessary to linearize the micro-grid constraints. This paper attempts to reduce the amount of consumption at peak hours by using time-based and incentive-based demand response programs with the help of shifting the load used in peak to off-peak hours or reducing the peak load in return for paying rewards to consumers.
