Research on Comprehensive Evaluation System of Power Demand Side Management by AHP

As the change of power energy structure, the electricity markets are shifting gradually from sellers markets to buyers ones. Demand side management, which is one of the most important methods for energy management, plays an important role in power operation. However, the implement of DSM is a complicated market process which should keep the market effective and fair. From the views of economics, it is necessary that the implement of DSM ensure the benefit of all the participation subjects fairly. And from the views of society, the implement had better dive harmoniously development ahead of economy and society. Therefore, it is necessary to make a comprehensive evaluation on the effect of DSM from the views of both economics and society. In this paper, we construct an evaluation system by employing an analytic hierarchy model. The model considers two factors: economic factors (which includes the fairness index), the social factors. In addition, we define an evaluation set for the quantification of the two factors. By the above work, we can make a more precise evaluation on effects of the implement of DSM.
