Development of A Distributed Intelligent System for Load Management in Micro Energy Systems

Market pricing mechanisms in the Russian Federation exist only for price zones, in other cases, prices are regulated by the government, especially in places of technologically isolated power systems, diesel power plants are often used, which significantly increases the price of electricity. To solve this problem, new generation plants can be built based on renewable energy sources, and demand management technology can be applied to reduce consumption and reduce the cost of electricity during peak hours. Real-time pricing is proposed as an effective way of managing demand from consumers. To analyze the impact of a price-dependent load control method on the cost of electricity, a real-time pricing algorithm based on market mechanisms and a model for studying the correctness of the algorithm in the Matlab software package were developed. It is shown that when using a price-dependent load control method, the demand for electricity during peak hours decreases.
