The primary objectives of this proposal were to (1) evaluate the effects of different types of storage on annual system costs and performance, (2) evaluate the effects of ramping on annual system costs and performance, (3) develop appropriate rate structures and incentives to promote distributed resource participation in coordinated aggregation schemes, (4) develop distributed resource models and control algorithms that accurately capture the aggregate demand-side flexibility as managed by an aggregator, (5) determine the system value of offering demand-side flexibility into a wholesale market, and (6) develop procedures to fairly allocate the cost of ancillary services (e.g. ramping, contingency reserve) to those system participants (locations) responsible for their procurement–a problem of fair cost allocation for cost causation.Â
