This paper proposes a carbon-aware demand response (C-DR) mechanism where individual users optimize their flexible load schedules to minimize carbon footprints, and integrates the C-DR model into an optimal carbon-aware power dispatch framework to enhance low-carbon power system operation.
A novel simplification method is proposed to determine the flexible temporal resolution for network-constrained unit commitment, which adjusts the temporal resolution locally considering the influence of congestion to achieve substantial acceleration with low cost variation and high accuracy.
