Example: Operational Impact of Phase-Unbalanced
DR
• Use Case:
– Feeder Voltage: 13.8 kV
– Feeder Base Load: 9 MW phase-balanced (3 MW per phase)
– Participating Demand Response: 900 kW with different amounts on
each phase: 300 kW on Phase A; 100 kW on Phase B; 500 kW on
Phase C
– For simplicity, assume both the base load and the DR are unity
power factor
– When the 900 kW DR is deployed, the remaining load will no
longer be phase-balanced
– This results in neutral current and losses for the remaining load;
thus reducing the effective DR
– For a system operator, it is important to know the expected
effective DR beforehand
– With 1% Neutral Losses for Remaining Load, Net Demand
Reduction: 900 - 1%*8,100 = 819 kW
