電力市場モデルを用いた大口需要家によるDRシナリオの分析

抄録

In addition to the need for electricity consumers to take into account the complex behavior of the electricity market as a result of electricity deregulation, CO2 emissions from economic activities have also become an issue in response to recent calls for decarbonization, making the electricity procurement environment increasingly complex. In this study, we focus on electricity procurement by a factory as a large consumer in such a complicated electricity sector. We have conducted simulation experiments and evaluations using an electricity market multi-agent model for several scenarios, focusing on the benefits to the demand side of demand response (DR), which is attracting attention as a means of stabilizing supply and demand in the electricity system, in terms of cost and CO2 emission reduction effects. The results show the effectiveness of DR that takes into account the characteristics of the season and time of day, and the effectiveness of demand shifting that utilizes out-of-service hours.
