This paper describes the procedures that were developed in a collaborative project with the Electric Power Research Institute to enable Georgia Power Company to account for the load response of their RTP customers in their system planning and operations activities. The procedures for incorporating RTP customers load response involve a series of analysis and modeling steps, leading to the development of an aggregate demand curve representation of their load response at alternative levels of high hourly electricity prices. This demand curve can then be used to forecast the day-ahead impact of a given high-price scenario based on forecast system conditions and load in absence of the RTP response. Note that the methodology is applicable to any utility with an RTP program, and is also generally applicable for other service options that provide customers with short-notice price incentive to alter usage, such as interruptible/curtailable programs with buy-through options.
