Demand-Side Resource Enhancements #8

Open grgmiller opened 3 years ago

grgmiller commented 3 years ago

Currently, demand side resources are not well modeled. To improve their integration into the model, multiple enhancements would be required:

Cost

[ ] Allow DSR to modify our DLAP load cost (either as independent adjustment, or create a variable for net load that includes zonedemand and any dsr adjustments)
[ ] Implement ability to specify a capacity cost

Dispatch: the implementation of how these resources are dispatched and modify load depend on the specific resources available:

[ ] Load shifting: dispatchable if needed, pay per event (or per MWh)
[ ] Load shaping: fixed capacity factor at certain times (e.g. electrification, efficiency), similar to variable generators, but with positive or negative VCFs
[ ] Curtailment: Could be implemented as fixed (single event) or dispatchable (capacity)

Resource Adequacy: DSR are eligible to receive flexible RA capacity

[ ] Implement calculation of EFC for DSR

Demand-side resources

[ ] Allow for load shift to have costs
[ ] Allow for multiple demand-side projects, each with capital costs
[ ] Allow for different types of DSR, like efficiency, curtailment, and load shifting
[ ] Improve visualization/reporting of load shift in summary report
[ ] Investigate whether we can access model shadow prices for each hour as a metric to value demand response
