Abstract: This paper develops a model for Demand Response (DR) by utilizing consumer behavior modeling considering different scenarios and levels of consumer rationality. Consumer behavior modeling has been done by developing extensive demand-price elasticity matrices for different types of consumers. These price elasticity matrices (PEMs) are utilized to calculate the level of Demand Response for a given consumer considering a day-ahead real time pricing scenario. DR models are applied to the IEEE 8500-node test feeder which is a real world large radial distribution network. A comprehensive analysis has been performed on the effects of demand reduction and redistribution on system voltages and losses. Results show that considerable DR can boost in system voltage due for further demand curtailment through demand side management techniques like Volt/Var Control (VVC).
