Market integration of responsive customers: Application to energy and balancing markets

Abstract:

The lack of demand resources participation is one of the main problems currently investigated in deregulated electricity markets. In this paper, an existing methodology for creating offers and bids of large customers is applied to analyse their daily and monthly energy consumptions. This analysis allows their participation in both energy and ancillary services markets. A simulation for a large customer participating in Spanish Electric Energy Markets (Day Ahead, Intra-Daily and Balancing) is developed in the paper to show the customer potential. The paper shows the real viability of the participation of the demand response resources in these markets, and the results obtained can be easily expanded to other markets and contracts for this type of resources.
