TL;DR: In this article, an integrated responsive load model is employed to illustrate the load modifications due to price changes and incentives/penalties (pertaining to TBDR programs) and to minimize the EH operation cost by optimal deciding on the purchased energy carriers as well as the converter/storage systems' schedule with respect to the modified purchased energy patterns.

TL;DR: A new EH operation optimization model is proposed, which determines the optimum response of the responsive loads to the associated EH generation costs, in order to minimize the total operation cost of the EH as well as the customers’ payments.

TL;DR: An analytical approach for evaluating the potential of collusion in the electricity market, based on the Jacobian matrix of GenCos’ profit, and four indices are introduced to evaluate the collusion possibility and profitability that allows market regulator to assess the degree of competition in the Electricity market.

TL;DR: “unit-based LMP_S” index, which indicates the contribution factor of each unit at LMP of each bus, is proposed as a new structural market power index, also used as an effective tool to determine the most profitable coalition between two units.

TL;DR: The effects of demand responsiveness are studied from the points of view of both customers and generation companies and results show that reducing just 3% of the customers’ demand may result in a benefit of about 10% for customers in the long term.
