Abstract
Background: Nowadays implementation of Demand Response (DR) programs in the distribution grid is a necessary planning criterion for distribution utility. Implemented DR programs should be automated, intelligent, well-educated, and more competent than the conventional augmentation techniques to resolve Distribution Network (DN) constraints. Peak demand causes DN to approach its maximum capacities. Peak demand also exceeds the sustainable limit of the DN resulting disruption in electric supply, failures of various assets like transformers, feeders, etc.
Objective: In this paper, a Direct Load Control (DLC) scheme for Flexible Loads (FLs) is modeled & implemented under Automated Demand Response (ADR) program and tested on real 54-bus DN.
Methods: This ADR program is implemented through Demand Response Aggregator (DRA) and ADR Technology Solution Enablers (ADRTSE) to curtail the peak demand on the DN ADR is a recent technology that may put off new generation (conventional- and non-conventional both).
Results: It also enables the distribution utility to curtail the peak demand & its period ensuring reliability of supply without restructuring, augmentation of existing infrastructure, and development of new infrastructure.
Conclusion: The result validates the effectiveness of ADR program for peak demand curtailment, asset management, distribution network losses minimization, and for sustainable development of environment.
