Evaluating the contribution of demand response to supply adequacy in smart distribution system with consideration the impact of human factor

This paper presents a method to assess the contribution of DR to supply adequacy of smart distribution system(SDS), considering the human factor of DR. The regret-matching procedure is proposed to model the change of willingness factor of DR participants, and the sequential Monte-Carlo simulation (SMCS) is utilized to calculate the reliability indices of SDS considering the DR invoked. The result obtained from comparison simulations has shown that the DR can improve the reliability performance of SDS obviously, and the human factor will influence the contribution of DR to supply adequacy of SDS.
