With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, higher requirements of flexible supply ability for power systems are put forward. In this context, an optimal dispatching method considering two types of demand response is proposed to improve power system flexibility. On the demand side, both the time-of-use (TOU) price and interruptible load are used to guide consumers to actively optimize the load curve, so as to relieve the pressure of the flexible supply of conventional units on the supply side. The demand response model consisting of TOU price and interruptible load is built. Then, taking the minimum cost as the objective function, the optimization model for power system dispatching is solved. Finally, the modified IEEE 30 bus system is taken as a case study. The results show that the consideration of two-type demand response in the optimal dispatching can improve the flexibility while ensuring economy, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
