Conceptual Model of the Electricity Micro Market for Solving Demand Management Tasks

The paper presents the results of building a conceptual model of the organization of the Electricity Micro market at the level of the local electric power system (LES) to determine the conditions for its creation in solving the problems of electricity demand management (Demand Response). The difference between the proposed approach to the organization of the Micro market is to consider it in the context of harmonizing the operation of the centralized electricity market and the Micro market at the level of the power system under the conditions of implementing the principles of the Smart Grid concept and Demand Response programs using electricity generation resources and consumer load. In order to implement the tasks of demand management, it is proposed to introduce new agents — a demand management aggregator and participants in the demand management program — into the structural and functional scheme of the conceptual model of Micro market integration. This conceptual model can be the basis for the development of a pilot project for the construction of the Micro market in the power system and the means of mathematical and information technology support for its functioning.
