Recently, for the purpose of utilizing renewable energy in a community, interactive electricity power networks, such as smart grid, have received much attention. In those electricity power networks, the technologies for maintain the balance of electricity demand and supply in a limited area become more important. Installing photovoltaic system can be effective for supplying electricity in a limited area at the peak load time, but PV output depends on weather conditions. Thus we propose to combine PV power generation with demand response program. We simulate interchange PV power with demand response program in a residential community. Some numerical results, which demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, will be presented.
