Operation Analysis of Power Distribution System Considering Demand Side Response of Multiple Types of Flexible Loads

With multiple types of demand-side flexible loads integrating to the distribution system (DS), demand side management is a way to improve the operation of the DS. Different types of flexible loads show different load characteristics and demand response performance. In this paper, the demand response strategy three types of representative flexible loads, i.e., electric vehicle charging stations, large industrial users with energy storage, and air conditioning clusters are established. Furthermore, an operation evaluation method for analyzing the impact of multiple types of flexible loads on DS is proposed. Finally, the proposed strategy and analysis method are validated on the modified IEEE-37 distribution network.
