Demand response (DR) is not a new concept but it is gaining a growing focus of attention in nowadays electric power systems operation and planning, with several advantages for the reliable power system functioning and for electricity prices. In this paper, price-based DR is applied to electricity consumers through the management of electricity prices. This management is based on demand elasticity and consumers are expected to react enabling to accomplish the required load reduction. The methodology is implemented in a developed DR simulator – DemSi - that uses PSCAD® for technical validation of solutions and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for solution optimization. The performance of PSO is evaluated in terms of running time and obtained solutions in comparison with the Non-Linear Programming (NLP) solutions obtained in GAMS™. Case studies involving 32 and 320 consumers are used to illustrate the proposed methodology and to discuss its performance.
