Reliability and Risk Assessment of Post-Contingency Demand Response in Smart Distribution Networks

摘要: Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive framework for the assessment of reliability and risk implications post-fault Demand Response (DR) to provide capacity release in smart distribution networks. A direct load control (DLC) scheme is presented efficiently disconnect DR customers with differentiated levels. The cost interrupted used as proxy value contracts different prioritize disconnections. tackles current system operator (DSO)’s corrective actions such network reconfiguration, emergency ratings shedding, also considering physical payback effects from customers’ reconnection. Sequential Monte Carlo simulation (SMCS) quantify borne by DSO if contracting fewer than required deterministic security standards. Numerical results demonstrate benefits proposed scheme, when compared DLC applied local DSO. In addition, key point boost commercial implementation schemes, show how volume could be much lower initially estimated properly accounting actual interruptions possibility deploying asset ratings. findings this work support rationale moving prescriptive standards probabilistic planning approach networks, which involves distributed energy resources post-contingency support.
