Demand side management using direct load control for residential and industrial areas

Abstract

Demand Side Management (DSM) can be a solution for providing the energy at peak times. In this paper an effective DSM is proposed that not only reduces the peak costs, but also is practicably possible in industrial and residential areas, which is performed by using Direct Load Control (DLC). According to use different strategies of DLC use, different results are found that can be either useful for consumers or utility. Produced structures by DLC are optimized by Integer GeneticAlgorithm that is discussed in this paper. Simulation results for each DLC operation strategies are presented and an executive comparison for these strategies is done.

Industrial Loads Used as Virtual Resources for a Cost-Effective Optimized Power Distribution

“…The proposed model was not tested on larger systems where more complexity exists. In [12], the authors proposed model to reduce peak loads in industrial and residential areas and to minimize costs for consumer and utility. Applying Direct Load Control (DLC) on the industrial and residential categories was not clear in terms of required contribution from each category.…”

“…6 and knowing that these are the required minimal hourly energy with this sequence for achieving their production targets through the industrial process steps; the algorithm runs on these profiles in a first stage to try to determine the shift of the individual profiles without impacting the operations and the productions targets of the large and industrial consumers. This is achieved by optimizing a solution for equations (12). First, the algorithm in coordination with the clustering determines the number of groups including the customers that will provide through their relocation the maximum benefit.…”

A Critical Assessment of Demand Response Programs Applied for Optimal Energy Management in Microgrids

“…The main aim of direct load control is engagement of sufficiently large number of small customers such as in residential loads [12]. By these Programs, power system will regulate particular load types at receiving side.…”

“…Rebates or other compensation mechanisms can also be given to commercial and industrial consumers for a commitment to reduce power when the electricity system is experiencing highest demand. Smart metering programs are another voluntary DSM approach that allows consumers to monitor their energy use and prices in real time, thus providing an incentive to reduce power use during peak demand or as prices increase (Salami and Farsi 2015;IEEE 2011).…”
