Different energy markets in numerous countries have developed programs to improve energy demand as a response to prices or the necessity to upgrade the reliability in the system. In this paper we evaluate the direct consequences of translating prices from the wholesale energy market to the retail energy market as a mechanism to promote changes in energy consumption patterns. A non-regulated market in Colombia is used as a case study to measure the benefits obtained by changing energy consumption schedules (demand from peak to non- peak hours). Performance indicators are proposed to help commercial and system operators recognize and supervise the real execution of these programs. Results show benefits of approximately two hundred million Colombian pesos annually and peak demand reductions of 1%. However, these benefits depend on the number of consumers who participate in the programs and their load curves. |
