Abstract

Demand response (DR) in electricity markets may offer a variety of financial and operational benefits. Typically, customers respond to DR events by adopting curtailment and shifting strategies. This article focuses on the former strategy and assumes that consumers are encouraged to avoid consuming electricity during specific hours of a 24 h day, because the energy price is above a given threshold. It presents a study on the Iberian market, conducted with the help of an agent-based simulation tool, called MATREM. The results are very favorable to the adoption of the load curtailment strategy (as a consequence of the enrollment in different DR programs).
