Social Welfare is useful concept for evaluating the effectiveness of an economic policy in micro economics. This paper focuses on Social Welfare(SW) of electricity market incorporating demand response(DR). Competition between DR and generation company is modeled as a simple bid function. DR function can be considered as an negative generation(called Negawatt) and as an element of modified demand function. These two approaches result in the same demand reduction, generation power, and the market price. However, SW in the modified demand function approach is not identical to SW in the Negawatt approach. It makes the numerical index of DR effectiveness less persuasive. This paper proposes modified definition of SW in the demand function approach. The proposed definition of SW leads the DR effectiveness index to be identical to that in the Negawatt approach.

The concept known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is to provide power to help balance loads by charging at night when demand is low and sending power to the grid when demand is high. Therefore, it is important to model the cost-benefit characteristics of Electric vehicle(EV)'s operation considering the negawatt market in real time. This paper proposes a methodology to formulate the various costs and economic benefits for sending the EV's power back to the grid, including a concept of inconvenience costs caused by operating the EV as a battery. This paper also introduces the general decision-making process based on the cost-benefit analysis in order to simulate the reasonable participation of V2G service. In the case study, it is confirmed by two-case simulations that the proposed approach is useful to help EV owners' decision-making. In the future, it is expected that the proposed methodology can be used as a decision-making guideline to help prepare the EV' power transmission.

전력은 모든 나라에서 사회 발전과 경제 성장에 가장 기본적인 자원이다. 산업이 고도화 되고 경제의 규모가 발전하면서 전력의 소비량은 점점 증가하고 있다. 전력을 공급하는 쪽에서는 전력을 생산할 때 자원의 낭비를 줄이기 위해 전력 사용량을 예측하는 것은 중요한 일이다. 또한 전력 수요 예측을 통해 여름과 겨울의 피크 타임에서의 전력 수요를 분산하는 것이 가능하다. 그리고 소비 전력의 예측은 국내에서 수요자원 거래시장(Negawatt market)이 본격화되면서 더욱 중요하게 되었다. 더구나 전력 소비량 예측은 소비자가 전력 시장에 직간접적으로 참여하는 수요관리 방법을 제공해준다. 본 연구에서는 1999년부터 2011년까지의 국내총생산, 1인당 국민총소득, 부가세, 국내전력소비량을 이용하여 제주도의 어업 전력 사용량을 예측하는데 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하고 있다. 유전자 알고리즘은 다양한 조합 최적화 분야에서 최적해를 찾는데 유용하게 사용되는 알고리즘이다. 본 논문에서 유전자 알고리즘에서 최적의 동작을 위한 파라미터들을 찾는다. 그리고 실제 전력 소비량 예측을 위해 사용되는 계수(coefficient)들의 최적값을 찾아 예측값과 실제 전력 소비량의 오차를 최소화하는데 목적이 있다.

This paper presents a structure of the retail electricity market based on the local pool with LDERP(Local Distributed Energy Resource Provider) for small energy prosumers. LDERP is an operator for the proposed market, which conducts performance measurement and settlement by the distribution plan determined through contract with participants. The trading process is designed similarly to the negawatt market. In the case study, the many-sided conditions of the proposed market are comparatively analyzed with the existing prosumer programs. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in determining the purpose of market operating for the benefit of participants according to the various situations.

Energy industry is undergoing a paradigm shift in customer participation in the smartgrid. Customers traditionally consume electrical power. But nowadays not only do they generate electricity from private distributed generations, they can participate in demand response programs with their negawatt power which means a theoretical unit of power representing an amount of energy saved. Therefore development of decision-making criteria for electric load aggregation becomes a greater consideration as an amount of energy saved from demand response resources increases. This paper proposes load aggregators' decision-making criteria in the industrial sector where it made up the largest portion in demand response portfolio in order to assure reliability performance for demand response resources.
