Abstract

This paper deals with the representation of price-responsive loads in the short term coordination of predominantly hydroelectric hydrothermal systems. The proposed approach allows the representation of cross-relationships between demand and price during different dispatch intervals of a given time horizon. Also, consumer energy constraints which behave as dynamic restrictions can be taken into account. By that means, a load shifting program in which the consumers' overall energy consumption remains constant throughout the time horizon can be simulated. The short-term hydrothermal coordination is solved as a single optimisation problem employing the primal–dual interior point method. Realistic subsystems, based on the Brazil interconnected power system, are used to illustrate the effect of price-responsive loads on reservoir storages.
