The Demand Response and Distributed Resources Economic (DR DRE) Model
End-user demand response and distributed resource economic decision model

- Experimental platform for modeling active operation of distribution systems with distributed resources and price-responsive demand
- Links AC optimal power flow model with thousands of instances of end-user economic decision models in parallel computing framework
- Can use detailed networks from Reference Network Model as inputs
- Iterative solution method computes power flows subject to network constraints, locational marginal prices, and end user response
