Two‐level scheduling of an active power distribution network by considering demand response program and uncertainties

This study investigates a hierarchical approach for modeling the mutual impacts of distribution network (DN) decisions and microgrids in multi-microgrid system under cover two-level problem. Due to conflicting interests decision-makers an active DN, optimization problem has structure, with companies (Discos) at top attempting maximize profits bottom reduce costs. examines relationship between unpredictability renewable energy sources power demand. In this mechanism, influence demand response program (DRP) is also considered important aspect intelligent systems. The nonlinear been transformed one-level linear using dual theory KKT conditions. According findings studies, even though cost reduction sole objective scheduling centralized mode, applying DRP results 16% overall costs method, 22% daily when compared without DRP.
