Effects of Demand Response Siting on High Wind Power Integration in a Transmission Constrained System

Abstract

Demand Response is now an effective approach to integrate wind power as it could be flexibly deployed to follow the wind power generation. This paper presents a scheduling model with real time pricing (RTP). The effects of wind power location, transmission constraint and DR siting on wind power integration are discussed in this paper. Simulation on PJM-5 bus System indicted that transmission constraint plays a more important role than wind power location on DR distribution and operation cost. It is cost-effective to site wind power at load center and increasing demand elasticity of bus near to congested lines rather than other buses with a limited budget in a transmission constraint system.
