Demand Response Performance Evaluation and Basic Load Calculation Method for Customers in Electricity Market Environment

The principle and method to calculate customers' basic loads are analyzed.It is pointed out that the principle for data selection, the calculation method and the weather adjustment factor are three main factors in the calculation of customers' basic loads;two method to evaluate customer response performance, i.e., the absolute value method and relative indices, are analyzed and it also pointed out that the importance grades of customer response performances can be subdivided by the data of customer response performance;the method to penalize customers or give them compensation according to their response performances is researched.The practice results of PJM, California ISO, New York ISO and New England ISO in calculating customer basic load and proceeds from customer response show that the historical data and calculation methods for different regions, various environments and different schemes are dissimilar.Results of this research are available for reference in the establishment of demand response market in China.
