Abstract

This paper explores the advantages and challenges of simulating price-responsive load (PRL) interactions with large-scale power systems using integrated transmission and distribution (T&D) models. This analysis uses the Integrated Grid Modeling System (IGMS) software to capture 'ISO-to-appliance' simulations using a synthetic T&D model built on the PJM 5 Bus transmission network with multiple full-scale taxonomy feeders that include physics-based models of thousands of PRLs. The results show substantial differences in the impacts of PRLs between integrated T&D and transmission-only (T-only) models. Similarly differences are observed between the price response of individual distribution feeders and the corresponding transmission bus in the integrated T&D simulations, which cannot be captured in T-only simulations. Experiments include both traditional price responsive load reductions and price-driven load increases during low net demand periods driven by high daytime generation from distributed generation-based photovoltaics (DGPV).
