Assessing the Value of Demand Response in Microgrids

This paper presents a computer application to assist in decisions about sustainability enhancement due the effect of shifting demand from less favorable periods that are more convenient for operation microgrid. Specifically, assessing how affect economic participation aggregating agent microgrid bidding an electricity day-ahead market. The must manage microturbines, wind systems, photovoltaic energy storage and loads, facing load uncertainty further uncertainties use renewable sources These cannot be removed decision making, and, therefore, require proper formulation, proposed approach customizes stochastic programming problem this operation. Case studies show under these periods, there opportunities make lead significant enhancements expected profit. better market consumption prices exporting energy. Through case it is concluded useful
