Congestion problems of transmission lines are very important research issues in power system operations. Load curtailment is one of the ways to solve congestion problems by a major contingency. A systematic and effective mechanism for load shedding has been developed by investigating congestion distribution factors and the direct load control program. In this paper, a load shedding algorithm using linear programming for congestion problems by a major contingency is presented. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, it has been tested on the 6-bus sample system and the power system of Korea, and their results are presented.

In this paper, we have developed an hourly operating strategy for Direct load control (DLC) considering the efficiency of DLC program and increasing the utility of DLC resource. According to the operating code for DLC, the DLC center should curtail the load for 4 hours when the control notification has been enforced. Since the above strategy may limit the participation of entities, who intend to take part in the DLC program, the new strategy to mitigate the above limitation is required. In this paper, we have developed the operating strategy of DLC program and the mechanism to apply the proposed strategy in the DLC center. The proposed strategy makes the important role from the view of guaranteing the effective alternative raising the participation and avoiding the penalty of the entities.

This paper proposes Direct Load Control(DLC) operation scheme using a bidding system and the methodology to value proper quantity decided by the DLC program, which is a kind of resources for stabilization of electricity market price during peak times by managing consumer electricity demand. Since DLC program in Korea is based on the contract with the customers participating in this program, it is difficult to anticipate voluntary participation. That is, incentive for participants in DLC program is insufficient. To cope with this point, it is necessary to develop a new market mechanism and market compatible operation scheme for DLC programs. DLC market mechanism is deemed to be equipped with iterative bidding system, independent operation from energy market, and interactive with bidding information on energy market. With this market mechanism, it is important to find the optimal operation point of DLC allowing for the factors of stabilizing the electricity market price and compensating DLC implementation. This paper focuses on the mathematical approaches for the bid-based DLC operation scheme and examines several scenarios for the following technical justifications: 1) stabilization of electricity market price during peak times, 2) elasticity of demand.

This paper presents a new approach for determining an accurate incentive levels of Direct Load Control (DLC) program using sequential Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) techniques. The economic analysis of DLC resources needs to identify the hourly-by-hourly expected energy-not-served resulting from the random outage characteristics of generators as well as to reflect the availability and duration of DLC resources, which results the computational explosion. Therefore, the conventional methods are based on the scenario approaches to reduce the computation time as well as to avoid the complexity of economic studies. In this paper, we have developed a new technique based on the sequential MCS to evaluate the required expected load control amount in each hour and to decide the incentive level satisfying the economic constraints. In addition, the mathematical formulation for DLC programs' economic evaluations are developed. To show the efficiency and effectiveness of the suggested method, the numerical studies have been performed for the modified IEEE reliability test system.

DLC(Direct Load Control) program has been introduced and operated for the stabilization of power demand. DLC program takes effect in accordance with political judgment of government (operating reserve ratio etc), which is controlled by DLC system mechanism. So we would improve understanding of DLC program participant introducing about control procedure in detail and also propose direction of development about control system.

Owing to the rapid development of economy and the higher living standard of people, electricity demands have growth and the peak load has been increased rapidly. To cope with this impacts and to reduce the cost of service,utilities are conserned about power load management program. This paper shows a scheme of power load control and the basic structure of direct load control system. And also radio control method using the public pager which is one of the best economical and serviceable method in techniques will be introduced briefly.

현재 운용되고 있는 직접부하제어 알고리즘은 직접부하제어 사업에 참여에 따른 수용가의 개별 부하별 우선순위가 고려되지 않고 있고, 또한 제어 시간도 수용가의 불편을 고려되지 않고 획일적으로 일정 시간대에 일률적으로 수용가의 부하를 제어함으로써 참여 수용가의 불편 증대로 참여율이 저조한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 참여 수용가의 불편을 최소화시키고 또한 개별 부하에 대한 우선순위 요구를 최대한으로 반영하기 위해 우선순위 기반 동적 프로그래밍을 이용한 직접부하제어 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시되는 알고리즘은 직접부하제어가 발생되기 1시간 전에 참여 수용가가 스스로 해당 부하의 우선순위를 결정하여 직접부하제어 센터로 I-Mail 등으로 보네면 센터에서는 현재 부하의 전력량과 우선순위 그리고 OFF주기 등을 고려하여 동적 프로그래밍을 수행하여 OFF되어야 할 부하들을 선택하게 된다.

Recently, the power load is growing larger and because of the environmental limitation of generation, the expansion of generation facilities are becoming more difficult. For that reason the importance of the demand-side resources come to be higher. One method of the demand-side resource, the DLC Program, has executed, and moreover, the loads which are available to be controlled are increasing. It should be considered of some kinds of power system components such as DLCs, because the fact that using the demand resources will be an important part of the power system. This paper considers the power factor of the load-bus which is shedded in the direct load control program. and then analyze the power system using flow sensitivity and voltage sensitivity. In this paper, we assumed two scenarios through the rank of the load power factor at each bus and to compare and evaluate each case, we used Power World for the simulation.

본 논문은 캘리포니아 테스트를 이용하여 직접부하제어 프로그램의 적정 인센티브 수준 결정 방법을 제시한다. 대부분의 수요관리 프로그램의 경우 연간 혹은 수요관리 프로그램의 수명기간 동안 모든 고려 변수들이 상수로 주어지지만, 직접부하제어의 경우 연간 직접부하제어의 실행 회수 및 각 직접부하제어 실행 시간에 대하여 종속적인 값이 되기 때문에, 이러한 문제를 극복하고 직접부하제어의 경제성 평가에 효과적으로 적용하기 위해서 캘리포니아 테스트 방법론을 새롭게 정식화한다. 이 정식화를 사용하여 다양한 시나리오에 대한 사례연구를 수행하며, 현행 직접부하제어 프로그램의 인센티브 수준을 재검토하고 경쟁적 전력시장에서 직접부하제어 프로그램이 활성화될 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

Because of the burgeoning demand of the energy, the countries are finding sustainable solutions for these emerging challenges. Demand Side Management is playing a significant role in managing the demand with an aim to support the electrical grid during the peak hours. However, advancement in controls and communication technologies, the aggregators are appearing as a third party entity in implementing demand response program. In this paper, a detailed mathematical framework is discussed in which the aggregator acts as an energy service provider between the utility and the consumers, and facilitate the consumers to actively participate in demand side management by introducing the new concept of demand reduction bidding (DRB) under constrained direct load control. Paper also presented an algorithm for the proposed framework and demonstrated the efficacy of the algorithm by considering few case studies and concluded with simulation results and discussions.
