Proposal for integrating active demand in the distribution system: variables, scenarios, and case study.

Abstract

This article proposes the integration of active demand into the distribution system with metaheuristic techniques. The methodology of system dynamics is employed, which allows for the identification of relevant variables for demand participation. The systemic approach used helps characterize both endogenous and exogenous variables, which is crucial for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the active demand integration process. Additionally, the transition time in the system's evolution is considered. The paper proposes a phased development, defining diverse scenarios and integrating them with data science to create tailored roadmaps for different distribution systems and specific conditions. A classic case study is presented, evaluating the impact of this transition, and determining the necessary regulatory policy to achieve effective integration of active demand.
