Electricity user behavior modeling for demand response: research status quo and applications

Abstract

<p>Understanding electricity user behavior through modeling helps effectively guide user electricity consumption in demand response，thereby exploiting the flexibility of demand side. For the practical needs of demand response applications，the research status quo and applications of electricity user behavior modeling are systematically reviewed. The research progress of electricity user behavior modeling is analyzed and summarized，including three different levels of the depiction of use behavior characteristics，the analysis of use behavior，and the quantitative modeling of user behavior. The main application directions of electricity user behavior modeling in demand response are outlined，including demand response potential assessment，coordinated optimization of energy system considering demand response，load aggregator pricing，and market mechanism design considering demand response. The practical issues faced by the existing research on electricity user behavior modeling are discussed，such as incomplete information and user irrationality，and the future research directions are looked forward to.</p>
