Demand Response Programs Influence On A Load Pattern

Demand response is one of the optimization methods for load pattern in the electric power systems. Utilities offer pricing models of the Demand response to incentivize consumers to shift or decrease the load. As for tariff planning, consumption variation is the main issue that requires careful quantitative analysis. There are several approaches to attract consumers for load control. For these reasons it is necessary to study pricing models of the Demand response. Also, benefits and disadvantages of the models are to be presented for consumers to make comfortable electric energy consumption to their daily consumption schedule. Theoretical analysis and numerical modelling methods for calculated case of Demand response programs in industrial sector were used. Quantitative analysis among the programs of demand response was carried out to present demand elasticity. Also, advantages and disadvantages of the programs and their application ways as a tool for shifting and decreasing load at energy market were presented. Several programs of demand response to motivate consumers for controlling the load are offered. Differential tariffs in several price models were considered. Practical application of different demand response programs effects to price-based tariffs.
