Outlook and Thinking of Flexible and Interactive Utilization of Intelligent Power

Being an important segment of smart grid,intelligent power utilization addresses the flexible bilateral interaction between power grid and users,which leads to great changes in the power consumption mode.In order to provide references for the developing intelligent power utilization,several key research issues,such as the related theory and technology and operation mechanisms,are summarized.The current status and trends of intelligent power utilization and the important problems that need to be further studied are discussed in this paper.Based on the theories of demand response(DR),the response mechanism of DR resources is studied to obtain optimal allocation.Then,the bi-directional interactive technology implementations are analyzed to promote engineering application of theoretical models.Furthermore,the commercial operation modes of intelligent power utilization,the impacts of electricity market environment,relevant policies,and technology standardization are all summed up.Extended applications of intelligent power utilization on the power system's green operation and the blend with new technology are briefly treated.
