ACTIVE DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The paper is concerned with the problems of modeling active consumption systems. Active consumption systems were considered in this paper. The implementation of active consumer concept is an important scientific problem, which should be solved with a special tool. A mathematical model of active consumer is presented. It takes into account both economic and energy aspects. The mixed integer linear programming is used to solve the problem of the active consumer demand response. An active consumer demand response problem is investigated by the example of electric power supply. To include different generating capacities, we consider power, heat and cooling supply systems. For example, a gas firing micro-cogeneration unit, absorption refrigerating machine, coal firing micro-cogeneration unit and a heat energy storage were chosen. Also, the research is focused on the control of electricity, heat and cooling generation in order to take account of consumers self-generating facilities. Additionally, consideration is given to the function of active consumer in the intelligent integrated energy system according to the basic principles of its formation. The computational experiment technology based on the developed methodological software and support is presented.
