Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 IEEE 8th GCC Conference and Exhibition (GCCCE) Conference Start Date: 2015, Feb. 1 Conference End Date: 2015, Feb. 4 Conference Location: Muscat, Oman With the development of the Smart Grid, Direct Load Control (DLC) can be implemented in such a way that consumer can be motivated to participate in it while satisfying ON/OFF constraints of his/her devices. This paper introduces the concept of Consolidated Demand Reduction Bid (CDRB) and develops a dynamic algorithm to compute the same for a consumer having a set of devices with different ratings, importance and constraints. CDRB consist of various power levels at which consumer is willing to curtail it's load during a particular control interval P l (k) and the corresponding bid to curtail P l (k) units of power for a specified duration is F(CP l (k)). The proposed algorithm can be implemented using two way communication between the consumer and the service provider. The applicability of the dynamic algorithm is illustrated using a cases study. The dynamic nature of the algorithm is also illustrated for different choices of the service provider.
