Applied TOU program to control electricity peak demand under demand side response model

Abstract

The current paper presents is to manage/control the electricity peak demand. In this scheme, the consumer will be able to manage the use of electrical energy for some appliances using innovative technology. In order to achieve the aim of this research, a time of use program was applied under the demand side response model. In this research there are three demand scenarios have been formulated to demonstrated the result of the simulation. An economic model was developed to define the electricity peak demand. As a result, the electricity peak demand can be minimized, such as: 450 MWh (scenario-1), 460 MWh (scenario-2) and 480 MWh (scenario-3). In addition, the New South Wales electricity market was chosen for the case study.
