Towards Cooperative Power Pooling for Heterogeneous Load Clusters

In this paper, cooperative power management (CPM) for heterogeneous load clusters is presented. Load flow (LF) and continuation power flow (CPF) characterization are introduced to describe the behavior of the network in static form. The essence is to guide on size of generator to consider and to determine excess power remaining without collapsing the network after meeting satisfactory supply demand to the cooperative members. The considered entities of the proposed cooperative power pooling system (CPPS) include: (i) electricity consumer cooperatives, (ii) CPPS criteria (iii) load flow model iv) continuation power flow (CPF); (v) power dispatch model and costing (PDMC), (vi) consumer cooperative with pool of generators model, vii) consumer cooperative with purchase of central generator, (viii) Algorithm for the pool of generator and the consumer cooperative (with pool of generators) and willing to sell out excess power model (CWSPM). These are employed in modeling demand response needed to tackle price distribution of the network using metering system. Consequently, the system provides fairness on charges based on load consumed while managing the members effectively.
