Proposal of operation for the demand response integrating agent in electrical distribution networks

Abstract

This article proposes the operation of a Integrating agent of Demand Response (DR). The integrating agent groups users with a certain amount of manageable power. Their manageable power can be disconnected in some hours of the day depending on the requests made by a network operator, one day in advance. The operation of the integrating agent is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem (MIP). During the operation of the integrating agent, the following constraints are taken into account: Restriction of power balance and restrictions on the number of individual shares of each user making part of the integrating agent. The total cost of the daily service DR was evaluated.
