    Abstract: Because of potential benefits of Demand Side Management (DSM) 
  at operation, economic and environmental levels, DSM is introduced as the first 
  choice in all energy policy decisions. Under deregulation, the DSM programs 
  have been expanded to include Demand Response Programs (DRPs). In the present 
  study, in order to investigate effect of changes in DRPs on the emission level 
  of thermal power plants and Supply Side Resources (SSRs) profit, an appropriate 
  model of Unit Commitment (UC) problem incorporating Demand Side Resources (DSRs) 
  with implementation of Time Based Rate (TBR) programs of DRPs (UC-DSRs with 
  TBR programs) is presented and studied. The proposed model is applied to determine 
  the optimal TBR program with the aim of lowest emission. In the other word, 
  the amount of emission per day in UC-DSRs problem is used to prioritize the 
  TBR programs from ISO’s point 
  of view.
