Abstract

In this paper the smart grid features of Demand Response (DR) and Volt/Var Control (VVC) are integrated in a distribution system. A coordination scheme for DR and VVC is developed and simulated on American Electric Power´s 12.47 KV distribution feeders. Multi Agent System (MAS) is used to establish the coordination scheme by the exchange of distribution network model in real time. Varying levels of DR and VVC for the AEP feeder with different load types show that integration of DR and VVC in real time can yield considerable demand reduction by the combined effects of bus voltage reduction, demand curtailment and demand redistribution over time.
