As such, when solar cftc - Cost function of the Transmission cost energy is available, the demand response is scheduled in such a x - Load factor way that maximum utilization of solar energy is practised.But the afc- effective fixed cost factor power generation from a solar PV system is highly uncertain and unpredictable due to irregular solar irradiation. Also, the power aoc - effective operating cost factor generation is limited to a time fraction of a day.The impact of these negative traits in a power system is studied with the help of I. INTRODUCTION an analytical curve called “Duck curve”. “Solar Duck curve” is a Swanson's law states that the price of a solar photovoltaic graphical representation of time scaled imbalances between a SPV generation to peak demand. A steep or rugged part in a duck module tends to drop twenty percentages for every curve indicates sudden shortcoming of SPV generation with cumulative shipped volume [1][2]. As per International respect to the peak demand. Hence, during this period, the loads Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) reports, the Global are shifted between solar PV sources and the main grid with Levelized cost of electricity (GLCE) on utility-scale respect to the insufficiency of solar power from peak demand. perspectives for renewable power generation technologies is The proposed system is a machine learning-based multistage shown in Fig 1. It could be noted that the GLCE of Solar demand response system for meeting demand response of a SPV dominant duck curve. The model has four layers/stages.The PV generation system (SPVGS) has decreased up to 400% primary layer is used to analyse the behaviour of the duck curve between 2010-17 [3][4]. As of now, solar PV systems are with the help of a Support Vector regression algorithm and the having the decidedly less Global Levelized cost of second layer is used for determining theoperating parameters electricity (GLCE) compared to other renewable energy based on the economic constraints imposed. The third layer is a sources [5]. This has accelerated the installation of a very demand response model based on the previous layer, and the high number of solar systems for the electric power fourth layer is aadaptive signal-processing model used to improve the stability of the system.The obtained demand response model is generation. In a grid, if a significant share of power is updated continuously in an adaptive manner so as to improve the generated from the solar PV sources, such grids are labelled stability of the system.A hardware experimental setup is made as solar PV dominant grids [6]. Economic constraints and with eighteen numbers of 24V/2kW interconnected solar PV real- robust demand response are two significant issues to be time system which is used for validating and analysing the considered in the demand response of a solar PV dominant method. grid.

Economic considerations on grid and user power between the grid and SPVGS becomes more perspectives complicated in this area. The economic aspects of the demand response should be The developed system described in this paper is a demand modelled by considering both user and grid aspects. In a response model focusing on the duck curve. The system has grid-connected solar PV model, if a solar PV generation two objectives. The primary objective of the system is to system is producing an excess of energy after meeting the determine the demand response model for a duck curve local demand, the surplus power is fed back to the grid [7]. where the stability is taken as the primary criteria [19]. If a solar PV generation system (SPVGS) is unable to Instead of performing an instantaneous response, a gradual support local demand, additional power is obtained from the power shifting is performed. The secondary objective of the main grid. In all other circumstances, local SPVGS are system is to regulate the demand response in the perspective disconnected from the main grid [8]. But the unit tariff from of economic constraints [20]. The power-sharing is the grid side is determined by considering dynamic pricing scheduled by incorporating both fixed and dynamic pricing as well as fixed cost [9] [10]. The fixed cost includes the [21].
