Abstract

In the emerging smart grid technologies, resource utilization is diversified and responsive demand became an important tool in availing various benefits. The informed load curtailment is a popular means of demand response aspect with customers being facilitated by financial incentives for offered load reduction. Therefore, augmentation of such responsive loads with unit commitment process can be effective in resource scheduling of smart grid. This paper attempts to develop a binary fireworks algorithm application solve unit commitment problem along with demand response and wind energy. While the wind energy is considered as non schedulable, load curtailment is modelled as schedulable through demand response aggregator. Further, system and thermal unit constraints applicable for wind energy and DR are modified. The proposed methodology is tested on system with coal fired thermal generation, demand response aggregator and wind energy. Various possible scheduling scenarios are laid out for examination. Simulation results are presented and discussed in detail. Results shows the effectiveness of demand response in reducing the operational cost of system operator. Also, the demand response showed betterment when scheduled along with wind energy. The reduction in cost from from traditional thermal unit scheduling is observed to be 6.5% which is best among all the possible scenarios.
