On the Optimal Design of Demand Response Policies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We characterize the optimal regulatory policy to promote demand response in the electricity sector. Demand response arises when consumers reduce their purchases of electricity in times of peak demand, when the utility’s marginal cost of supplying electricity is relatively high. The optimal policy differs systematically from the policy in the U. S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) Order 745. Under plausible conditions, implementation of the FERC’s policy can reduce welfare substantially below the level secured by the optimal demand response policy.

Optimal emergency demand response program integrated with multi-objective dynamic economic emission dispatch problem
Nowadays, demand response programs (DRPs) play an important role in price reduction and reliability improvement. In this paper, an optimal integrated model for the emergency demand response program (EDRP) and dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem has been developed. Customer’s behavior is modeled based on the price elasticity matrix (PEM) by which the level of DRP is determined for ...
