Abstract: Large scale penetration of highly intermittent wind energy sources has caused new challenges to the reliable operation of power systems. To address these challenges, demand response program is considered as an efficient solution to manage shift-able loads. In this paper, the impact of demand response on power system reliability has been evaluated by developing a two-stage stochastic security constraint unit commitment that considers both the wind volatility and line outages at the same time. The allocation of ramping products and spinning reserves to cover these uncertainties has also been modeled. wind curtailment and load shedding are considered as alternative strategies, and an optimal exchange between them and the use of spinning reserves and flexible ramping products has been modeled in the objective function. To assess the system reliability, the expected load not served (ELNS) index was evaluated in different cases. The proposed scheme as a mixed-integer linear programming problem was solved by a scenario-based two-stage stochastic programming method. The IEEE test systems 6-bus, modified 24-bus, and 118-bus were examined numerically. The results show that the simultaneous consideration of demand response and flexible ramping product coordinated with wind energy has adequate flexibility to reduce the reliability index and system operational cost.
