As a typical approach of demand response (DR), direct load control (DLC) enables load service entity (LSE) to adjust electricity usage of home-end customers for peak shaving during DLC event. Households are connected in low voltage distribution networks, which is three phase unbalanced. However, existing works have not considered the network constraints and operational constraints of three phase unbalanced distribution systems, thus may ending up with decisions that deviate from reality or even infeasible in real world. This paper proposes residential DLC considering associated constraints of three phase unbalanced distribution networks. Numerical tests on a modified IEEE benchmark system demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Residential loads, especially heating, ventilation, and air conditioners (HVACs) and electric vehicles (EVs) have great potentials to provide demand flexibility which is an attribute of Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings (GEB). Under this new parad igm, first, EV and HVAC aggregator models are developed in this paper to represent the fleet of GEBs, in which the aggregated parameters are obtained based on a new approach of data generation and least-squares parameter estimation (DG-LSPE), which can deal with heterogenous HVACs. Then, a tri-level bidding and dispatching framework is established based on competitive distribution operation with distribution locational marginal price (DLMP). The first two levels form a bilevel model to optimize the aggregators payment and to represent the interdependency between load aggregators and the distribution system operator (DSO) using DLMP, while the third level is to dispatch the optimal load aggregation to all residents by the proposed priority list-based demand dispatching algorithm. Finally, case studies on a modified IEEE 33-Bus system illustrate three main technical reasons for payment reduction due to demand flexibility: load shift, DLMP step changes, and power losses. They can be used as general guidelines for better decision-making for future planning and operation of demand response programs.
The increase in distributed energy resources and flexible electricity consumers has turned TSO-DSO coordination strategies into a challenging problem. Existing decomposition/decentralized methods apply divide-and-conquer strategies to trim down the c omputational burden of this complex problem, but rely on access to proprietary information or fail-safe real-time communication infrastructures. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose in this paper a TSO-DSO coordination strategy that only needs a series of observations of the nodal price and the power intake at the substations connecting the transmission and distribution networks. Using this information, we learn the price response of active distribution networks (DN) using a decreasing step-wise function that can also adapt to some contextual information. The learning task can be carried out in a computationally efficient manner and the curve it produces can be interpreted as a market bid, thus averting the need to revise the current operational procedures for the transmission network. Inaccuracies derived from the learning task may lead to suboptimal decisions. However, results from a realistic case study show that the proposed methodology yields operating decisions very close to those obtained by a fully centralized coordination of transmission and distribution.
This paper presents a distributed optimization algorithm tailored for solving optimal control problems arising in multi-building coordination. The buildings coordinated by a grid operator, join a demand response program to balance the voltage surge b y using an energy cost defined criterion. In order to model the hierarchical structure of the building network, we formulate a distributed convex optimization problem with separable objectives and coupled affine equality constraints. A variant of the Augmented Lagrangian based Alternating Direction Inexact Newton (ALADIN) method for solving the considered class of problems is then presented along with a convergence guarantee. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compare it to the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) by running both an ALADIN and an ADMM based model predictive controller on a benchmark case study.
The Variable Series Reactors (VSRs) can efficiently control the power flow through the adjustment of the line reactance. When they are appropriately allocated in the power network, the transmission congestion and generation cost can be reduced. This paper proposes a planning model to optimally allocate VSRs considering AC constraints and multi-scenarios including base case and contingencies. The planning model is originally a non-convex large scale mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP), which is generally intractable. The proposed Benders approach decomposes the MINLP model into a mixed integer linear program (MILP) master problem and a number of nonlinear subproblems. Numerical case studies based on IEEE 118-bus demonstrate the high performance of the proposed approach.
This paper formalizes a demand response task as an optimization problem featuring a known time-varying engineering cost and an unknown (dis)comfort function. Based on this model, this paper develops a feedback-based projected gradient method to solve the demand response problem in an online fashion, where: i) feedback from the user is leveraged to learn the (dis)comfort function concurrently with the execution of the algorithm; and, ii) measurements of electrical quantities are used to estimate the gradient of the known engineering cost. To learn the unknown function, a shape-constrained Gaussian Process is leveraged; this approach allows one to obtain an estimated function that is strongly convex and smooth. The performance of the online algorithm is analyzed by using metrics such as the tracking error and the dynamic regret. A numerical example is illustrated to corroborate the technical findings.
