Abstract
Accurate customer baseline load (CBL) estimation is critical for implementing incentive-based demand response (DR) programs. The increasing penetration of grid-tied distributed photovoltaic systems (DPVS) complicates customers’ load patterns, making the CBL estimation more difficult because the volatile actual load and the intermittent PV output power are coupled together. A PV-load decoupling framework is proposed in this paper to address the above issue. The basic idea is to decouple the actual load power and the PV output power, then estimate them separately. To this end, historical PV output power data of each individual DPVS is required. However, pure historical PV output power data is...
Incorporating two-part real-time pricing scheme into distribution system operation
, Article Proceedings - 2014 Electrical Power and Energy Conference, EPEC 2014 ; 2014 , p. 178-183 ; Fotuhi-Firuzabad, M ; Parvania, M ; Abbaspour, A ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Existing real-time pricing (RTP) schemes charge the whole customer's consumption at one highly volatile time varying price, which, in turn, imposes financial risk to participating customers. This paper presents a two-part RTP scheme aiming at efficient distribution system operation while mitigating customers' risk level imposed by volatile RTP prices. Our proposed RTP scheme offers two different RTP price signals. The first RTP price signal is used to charge customer's consumption up to its customer baseline load (CBL) which presents customer's consumption in the absence of RTP signals. The second RTP price signal is announced a day ahead of the actual operation, and can be updated in real...

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel real-time pricing tariff design aiming at reducing the operation cost of distribution system. A customer base-line load (CBL) is established for each participant. It let the customer to have less exposure with RTP volatile prices.The tariff charges the consumption above the CBL an hourly varying price. It credits the consumption below the CBL another hourly varying price.The proposed tariff provides the participant with more incentive and discount prices to encourage it to consume more efficient. The optimal prices are determined and announced a day in advance but can change in the next day with a short notice.The response of customers to the tariff prices is...
Incorporating time-varying electricity rates into day-ahead distribution system operation
, Article 2014 14th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering, EEEIC 2014 - Conference Proceedings ; 2014 , p. 193-198 ; Abbaspour, A ; Parvania, M ; Fotuhi-Firuzabad, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This paper proposes an operation framework for incorporating time-varying electricity rates into day-ahead distribution system operation. The day-ahead distribution system operation problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model, in which profit of the distribution system operator (DSO) from serving local loads is maximized. The impact of time-varying electricity rates on local loads is determined based on the estimated price elasticity of the customers and the historical consumption data. The customers' consumption behaviors in the absence of time-varying electricity rates are captured in terms of the customer baseline load (CBL). The proposed model is applied to a...
