In the meantime, power system operation requires enough flexible resources to deal with contingencies such as transmission line tripping. Besides economic benefits, this paper focuses on the security benefits that can be provided by multi-energy integrations. This paper first proposes an operation scheme to coordinate multiple energy production and local system consumption considering transmission networks. The integrated flexibility model, constructed by the feasible region of integrated demand response(IDR), is then formulated to aggregate and describe local flexibility. Combined with system security constraints, a multi-energy system operation model is formulated to schedule multiple energy production, transmission, and consumption. The effects of local system flexibility on alleviating power flow violations during N-1 line tripping contingencies are then analyzed through a multi-energy system case. The results show that local system flexibility can not only reduce the system operation costs, but also reduce the probability of power flow congestion or violations by approximately 68.8% during N-1 line tripping contingencies.展开更多

With the development of...In the traditional power system demand response, customers respond to electricity price or incentive and change their original power consumption pattern accordingly to gain additional benefits. With the development of multi-energy systems (MES) in which electricity, heat, natural gas and other forms of energy are coupled with each other, all types of energy customers are able to participate in demand response, leading to the concept of integrated demand response (IDR). In IDR, energy consumers can response not only by reducing energy consumption or opting for off-peak energy consumption but also by changing the type of the consumed energy. Taking the traditional demand response in power system as a starting point, the studies of the fundamental theory, framework design and potential estimation of demand response in power system are reviewed, and the practical cases and software development of demand response are introduced. Finally, the current theoretical research and application of IDR are assessed.展开更多
