Abstract
Capacity Bidding Program (CBP) that incorporates an incentive-based mechanism holds significant promise in helping Distribution Companies (DISCOs) to address the challenges posed by extreme peaks. The primary focus of this paper is the peak reduction scheme (PRS) in distribution networks. The responsibility of the Distribution System Operator (DSO) is to reduce the peak demand of its service area below the quota determined by the Transmission System Operator (TSO). The CBP is studied besides the scheduled load interruption, which determines the optimal assignment and level of shedding for the load points. In order to achieve this goal, a numerical optimization model is examined. This model is based on fuzzy sets and aims to meet the PRS in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, it determines the optimal event hours for the participants of the CBP. The implementation of fuzzy modeling enables the DSO to effectively mitigate the risks related to the load, renewable generation, and the delivered capacity ratio by the CBP customers. The examination of proposed PRS on two test and real networks indicated that the nominated capacities and expected delivered quantities are influential in managing the scheduled interruption and determining CBP event calls to reduce peak demand below the quota. With a peak reduction share ranging from 1.2 % to 3.8 %, CBP customers can be considered reliable resources for peak management. Additionally, the real network experiences a 1.8 % increase in the cost of implementing the PRS scheme, as the delivered capacity is reduced by 23.4 % from the DSO's perspective.
