Genetic algorithm for demand response: a stackelberg game approach

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1649379

Demand response (DR) has gained a significant recent interest due to its potential for mitigating many power system problems. Game theory is a very effective tool to be utilized in DR management. In this paper, the DR between a distribution system operator (DSO) and load aggregators (LAs) is designed as a Stackelberg game, where the DSO acts as the leader and LAs are regarded as the followers. Due to the limitations of the centralized solution approaches, a genetic algorithm-based decentralized approach is proposed. To demonstrate the proposed approach, a case study concerning a day-ahead optimization for a real-time pricing market with a single DSO and three LAs is designed and optimized. The proposed approach is able to shift the demand peaks and prove that it has a great potential to be used for the Stackelberg game between a DSO and multiple LAs to fully exploit the potential of DR.
