This article proposes a DR program characterized by novel compensation scheme. The proposed scheme recognizes the different characteristics of curtailment, such as total length curtailments within window time, or number separate curtailment events (i.e., startup), and compensates end-user accordingly. features piece-wise reward function comprised two intervals. participants receive onetime upfr...

The environmental concerns around energy, namely electricity, have driven attention to innovative approaches fostering consumers participation in the whole energy system management. Accordingly, concept of demand response provides incentives and signals no change normal consumption patterns increase use renewables, for example. problem is that such has a large amount uncertainty. This paper pro...

In recent years, incremental rate of electrical demands made many challenges for policy makers of power systems. Besides, due to economic crisis and environmental concerns about the air pollution, the new investments in thermal power generation units have experienced a noticeable reduction. For this reason, the power system operators should propose novel approaches to make a balance between inc...

A smart energy management controller can improve efficiency, save costs, and reduce carbon emissions consumption while accurately catering to consumer habits. Having integrated various renewable systems (RESs) a battery storage system (BSS), we proposed an optimization-based demand-side (DSM) scheduler (SEMC) for home. The suggested SEMC creates DSM-based operational plan regarding user-centere...

In this paper, a customer incentive scheme is proposed for retailers to build an effective demand response program over the peak demand period to minimize the financial risk. Firstly, an objective function is formulated based on the market operation and an optimal incentive price is derived from this objective function. Secondly, the incentive price is employed as a part of an incentive scheme ...

Nowadays, demand response programs (DRPs) play an important role in price reduction and reliability improvement. In this paper, an optimal integrated model for the emergency demand response program (EDRP) and dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem has been developed. Customer’s behavior is modeled based on the price elasticity matrix (PEM) by which the level of DRP is determined for ...

Microgrid (MG) is considered as a feasible solution to integrate the distributed energy sources. In this paper, optimal scheduling of a grid-connected MG is investigated considering different power sources as combined heat and power (CHP) units, only power and heat generating units, and battery storage systems. Two different feasible operating regions are considered for the CHP units. In additi...
