Analysis of Consumer Energy Supply Approach in the Electricity Retail Market in the Presence of Demand Response Programs with the Aim of Energy Security Enhancement

Nowadays, with the revision in the rules and regulations of the restructured power systems, the energy security has become crucial. From the independent system operator (ISO) point of view, in the advanced defense approach also, the energy security has gained more importance. Thus, there is a close relationship between energy security via passive defense approach, energy supply and energy economy. In restructured power systems the customer energy supply can be managed in an acceptable limitation based on the demand-side management and demand response programs considering economic efficiency. In this paper, the energy security index before and after demand response is introduced in the economic environment of the power system. On the other hand, a comprehensive solution for energy security, energy supply and energy consumption, is also presented on the basis of the optimization hybrid approach.  In this regard, a study of energy the supply security in the presence of power retail market, regarding different pricing methods is carried out. Finally, the mixed integer programming (MIP) model is implemented in GAMS software via the CONOPT solver.
