One-level optimization methods have been proposed to optimize the load profile of a single user or a cluster of users in the smart grids. In this work, two two-level optimization methods are studied, one considering technical ...

This paper proposes a novel simulator of energy consumption patterns that allows designing demand side management(DSM) strategies without economic incentives. The simulator emulates consumers’patterns with and without ...

HARE, a systematic tool to evaluate demand side measures to face sustained energy supply risk in hydrothermal power systems is presented in this paper. The main focus of the paper is to help centralized planners to ...

One-level optimization methods have been proposed to optimize a single user’s load profile or a cluster of users in the smart grids. In this work, two two-level optimization methods are studied, one case considering technical ...

In the Chilean electricity market, renewable energy sources had a participation rate of 43% of total electric generation. In this context, the target for renewable energy participation levels is 60% for 2035 during 2017. ...

In this article, we provide a proof of concept realization of a demand response scheme modelling an EV-aggregator offering smart charging 1 coordination services to several Electric Vehicles (EV). The aggregator model ...

Large groups of electrical loads can be controlled as a single entity to reduce their aggregate power demand in the electricity network. This approach, known as load management (LM) or demand response, offers an alternative ...
