Demand response in the modern power systems

Abstract

Relevance: in recent years, due to the energy transition taking place in many countries of the world, energy transition processes are taking place in Uzbekistan. The transition is associated with a turn to green energy and serious problems of diversification of energy sources, development of market relations, digitalization and intellectualization of the energy sector. In such conditions, at all stages of the transition, it is necessary to ensure the reliability of electricity supply to consumers and the provision of electric power systems (EPS) in various modes. Therefore, conducting a study on the use of reliable methods for providing consumers with high-quality electrical power, including when operating wind and solar power plants with unstable modes, is relevant. One of such methods is operational demand response.

Aim: analysis and justification of the use of demand management methods for the operational balancing of deficit modes with unstable generation of wind and solar electricity sources.

Methods: international experience and methods of comparative analysis of demand management are used.

Results: in the green transition and implementation of market relations in the EPS of Uzbekistan with wind and solar installations, it is necessary to use operational demand response methods for effective balancing of the unstable operation of wind and solar installations. Based on the analysis, appropriate proposals were made for the application of demand response methods.
