Determination of the amount of cost-effective DSM/DR module

Abstract

This paper presents the methodology applied to determine the level of acceptable costs of a Smart Grid module, able to support combined acting of demand side management (DSM) and demand response (DR) programs. The results of the methodology use have been illustrated by case studythe simulation of one particular DSM/DR program implementation throughout the whole consumption area of Electricity Distribution Company in Serbian capital, Belgrade. The results of the research show that the implementation of DSM/DR program would be useful and profitable for analyzed case study and supposed values of input dataunit costs for each part and device of the system. In order to check the certainty of these results, a sensitivity analysis has been performed, too, changing input data within reasonable limits. Resultsshow that proposed DSM/DR program implementation would be beneficial, even for increased prices of necessary equipment.

Long-term forecasting of annual peak load considering effects of demand-side programs

“…The key benefit would be that EDB might not have to build four substations 110/10 kV/kV, S inst = 2940 MVA each, loaded, on average, around 75%. As shown in [14], the total investment cost of these substations, together with the costs of supplying 110 kV lines and the related MV and LV grid and substations MV/LV, C tot, would be around 146910 6 € (see Appendix C Table C1). With the total annual discount rate r = 9% and the program expansion period of Y N = 8 years, the net present value, C tot pv , of saved investments would be around 101910 6 €, according to (6).…”

“…The methodology applied to determine the level of acceptable costs of the necessary SG module, illustrated and described in Section 2.3, is detailed in [14]. It is based on the cost comparison of two network-planning alternatives: the costs of introducing the proposed DR/ DSM program, and the investment costs of new power facilities required in the absence of DR/DSM.…”

“…The results Long-term forecasting of annual peak load considering effects of demand-side programs 153 of the comparison show that implementing the proposed DR/DSM program would be useful and profitable for the analyzed case study, and for the supposed values of input parameters. In order to check the range of applicability of those results, a sensitivity analysis was performed and presented in [14]. Its results show that, in a wide range of variations of influential input parameters, the proposed DR/ DSM program would be a far better option than construction of new power facilities.…”

“…A technical solution, designed as the program support, is described in [13]. Cost-effectiveness of such DR/DSM module is assessed and presented in [14]. The designed module could allow smart control of heating and cooling devices.…”

Consumers' influence in sustainable decarbonisation of future power system

“…Sa druge strane, kao što smo već ilustrovali, primena jednog programa ili modula DSM/DR podrazumeva ne samo nadgradnju postojeće infrastrukture i objekata, nego i ugradnju i primenu novih elemenata, komponenti i aplikacija, neophodnih da bi se izgradio tehničko-tehnološki sistem za podršku jednom takvom programu/modulu, [18]. Stoga su u narednom koraku proračunati troškovi tog sistema, na način prikazan u [19] i kreirana je metodologija za odreĎivanje njihovog iznosa koji bi bio prihvatljiv. U tu svrhu, na samom kraju ovog niza istraživanja, osmišljene su i primenjene odgovarajuća tehnoekonomska i analiza osetljivosti.…”
