Research on Demand Response Day-Ahead Scheduling Model for Multi-type Residential Customers

Abstract

As residential customers can participate in demand response (DR) by lots of ways, it is challenging to formulate DR strategies to improve the regulation capability of the power system. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a DR day-ahead scheduling model that considers different strategies for multiple-type residential customers. Firstly, according to the residential customers’ participation modes, the customers are classified into three types: hosting users, negotiating users and load aggregators (LA), and the corresponding regulation strategies for the flexible loads are developed. Secondly, the DR day-ahead scheduling model is established, the objective function is minimizing the customers’ discomfort, and the constraint condition considers the demand response request. Finally, a case study is performed to show the effect within DR through the model.
