Abstract

Demand Response (DR) programs offer flexibility that is considered to hold significant potential for enhancing power system reliability and promoting the integration of renewable energy sources. Nevertheless, the distributed nature of DR resources presents challenges in developing scalable optimization tools. This paper explores a novel data-driven approach in which DR resources are modeled through their aggregate forecasts using Inverse Optimization. The proposed method utilizes historical price-consumption data to deduce DR price-response behavior via a flexibility curve. The model is assessed within the Belgian single imbalance market context, where a Balance Responsible Party (BRP) employs the inferred flexibility curve to optimize its strategic imbalance positions by managing DR resources through suitable real-time price signals. The accuracy of the estimated flexibility provided by the proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing it with the XGboost method. The results demonstrate that the model can effectively capture DR behavior and generate profit from providing balancing energy.
