Unit commitment considering the emergency demand response programs and interruptible/curtailable loads

After restructuring the power systems, demand response programs form the main part of consumptionmanagement programs. This is because these programs are by nature particularly suitable for adapting to the newstructure in power system management. These programs are considered as a suitable solution for solving some problemsin power system restructuring. Unit commitment (UC) programs are used for power production with minimum cost.In this paper, after presenting an overview of demand response methods, a mechanism is proposed for simultaneousexecution of the UC program, emergency demand response programs, and interruptible/curtailable loads. The proposedmechanism, in addition to decreasing the payment costs, ensures a flat load curve and increases system reliability.
