Research on optimal dispatch model of power grid considering the uncertainty of flexible resource demand response on the residential side

Abstract

AbstractResidential side flexible load participation in demand response (DR) has been widely used in recent years. However, there are uncertainties in the response willingness and response volume of residential customers, which have a non‐negligible impact on the security and economic dispatch of the power sector. This paper analyzes the uncertainty factors in the demand response process of residential users from the equipment load layer–user layer, establishes for the first time a refined model of residential users' participation in DR from the perspectives of participation uncertainty and response uncertainty, and further constructs a grid optimal dispatch model considering DR uncertainty. The experimental simulation results show that the model established in this paper is able to adjust the operation strategy according to the requirements of user comfort, enhance the enthusiasm of users to participate in DR, and at the same time reduce the dispatch security risk and economic loss caused by the uncertainty of residents' DR on the power grid.
