IEEE 9 Bus system is used to model distribution system of this town. 5 MW Energy from Waste Incineration (EfWI) plant and 10 MW solar plant are integrated to distribution system. Simulation results demonstrate that despite the fact that EfWI plant provides a limited energy generation potential, it can be utilized as a secondary renewable source to reduce peak demand in the hours of excessive demand.","PeriodicalId":403426,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Istanbul Smart Grid Congress and Fair (ICSG)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129113750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A fast and effective measure are market-based time-variable electricity tariffs which reflect the load to energy supply ratio in the grid. These can be used for sot minimization leading to load shifting to low-load times. If the household is also equipped with a generation device as a solar panel, the feed-in tariff becomes important. This publication treats the calculation of an effective electricity tariff out of different tariffs for consumption and feed-in, taking the constraints of the generation device into account.

Since the major of these utilities require enormous expenditure and bring complexity, undesired interactions and difficulty in installation, maintenance and management are always encountered. To deal with these issues, a number of models for the single-utility product have been proposed such as the blood of city and the umbilical cording vision. In this study, we propose a model by drawing an analogy between a womb and home so as to supply all services through one utility product. To form the mental picture of the analogy, the life cycle from the birth to the death are taken into consideration in four aspects: foetus as the householder, placenta as the security, umbilical cording as the networking, and amniotic fluid as the stabilizer of the indoor temperature.","PeriodicalId":403426,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Istanbul Smart Grid Congress and Fair (ICSG)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129117054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has to be produced, transmitted, distributed and used instantly. However the nature of the load is variable with respect to time. The power generating plants are designed for maximum demand. It means the gap between peak load and the average load is high which results in greater per unit cost. The peak load increases suddenly in peak hours so we need to install large power generating plants to meet peak demand. It is not possible for developing countries to install such large power generating units due to limited financial resources. The proposed solution of this problem is Demand Side Management (DSM) technique. In Demand Side Management (DSM) technique the load is shifted to off peak hours which results in financial benefit to residential customers. DSM is an important part of Smart Grid (SG) which is used to shift load to off peak timings as well as reshape load curve. As a result, importance of SG increases and there is a decrease in per unit energy cost. However this research thesis revolves around DSM load shifting techniques for only flexible devices. The flexible devices should be shifted to off peak period. “The Day Ahead Shifting” technique is proposed in this research thesis to minimize the above said problem significantly. Mathematical modelling and simulation in this research thesis are based on residential load during the spring season in Pakistan. This algorithm is developed in Matlab software. The findings of this thesis suggest that DSM approach attains significant energy savings and objective curve.","PeriodicalId":403426,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Istanbul Smart Grid Congress and Fair (ICSG)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122175204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
