A New Market-Based Framework for Increasing Responsive Loads In Distribution Systems
Regarding the pervasive application of information and telecommunication technologies in the power distribution industry, responsive loads (RLs) have been widely employed in the operation of distribution and transmission systems. The utilization of these loads in the competitive environment of the power market has led to a decrease in costs and an increase in the flexibility of the distribution system and, consequently, the power system. This paper presents a framework for the competitive presence of RLs in local markets. The technical cooperation method of the Distribution System Operator (DSO) and Transmission System Operator (TSO), the persuasion mechanism of DSOs, and financial signals for getting and increasing the participation of consumers are represented based on local markets and market clearing mechanisms.
