Abstract

With the development of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the increasing flexibility in active distribution networks (ADNs), the economic operation of ADN coordinating both generation and demand sides is required to be studied. In this paper, considering the electricity price response of DER, a coordinated operation strategy for ADN is presented based on a bi-level agent framework. The DER agent makes their own response based on the technical operability and economic consideration, while the ADN agent will finally coordinate each participant by using the interactive benefit prioritization (IBP) principle. The simulation results indicate that the proposed strategy cannot only reduce the power imbalance but also improve the economic operation of ADN. Moreover, consumption of renewable energy is ameliorated as well.
