Abstract

Optimal microgrid operation is one of the most important challenges for microgrid operators. Decreasing the operation cost while the problem constraints are fulfilled is the aim of operators in this challenge. The demand response program in presence of uncertainties in different components of the microgrid is also attracted a lot of attention in recent years. In this paper, the impact of running Direct Load Control (DLC) program and different positions of installing storage units on microgrid are investigated. The microgrid is connected to the up-grid and DLC demand response program (DLC-DRP) is modeled based on price elasticity and customers benefit as well as finding the proper location of installing storage units (batteries) by considering various factors, is the objective of this paper. GAMS optimization software and Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) technic have been deployed to achieve this goal. To verify the performance of the proposed method, the results of running DLC-DRP on an 11-bus microgrid in 24 hours period has been analyzed.
