DSM and DR strategies for sudden demand increases in the South Korean Power System

This paper presents demand-side management (DSM) and demand response (DR) strategies for sudden demand in the South Korean Power System increases in response to the temperature rises. In extreme weather such as high temperatures, the supply/demand balance of a power system becomes more and more difficult to operate. In these situations, DSM and DR can play major roles in either controlling the needs of new intermittent resource capacity or adjusting the load consumption in real time to face production variations. Simulations were performed for an inter-area power flow considering DSM/DR operation for generation/load variation using the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) 2020 power system planning data for South Korea.
