A probabilistic methodology for optimal scheduling of load reductions recoveries in a day-ahead planning of transmission networks is proposed in the paper. The methodology recognizes several types of uncertainties. and finds optimal demand response scheduling using the network security and customer economics criteria. Impacts of wind generation and real-time thermal …
