There is an increasing concern about controlling and reducing carbon emissions in power systems. In this regard, researchers have focused on managing emissions on the generation side, which is the main source of emissions. ...

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 ...

The photovoltaic solar potential in an urban sector and the effects produced by the electricity input into a low-voltage grid are determined, the analysis is performed for one year. First, the generation profiles are ...

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 work presents the results from the analysis of the behavior of demand and energy consumption in the Campus of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria to contribute to the adoption of strategic plans for demand side ...

In the first part of this work, a solar photovoltaic system with battery storage (PV-BESS) and grid backup system to supply a SAG mill was modeled. There, the overall framework, the optimization model, and the model for ...

In this work we present a Distributed Demand-Side Management system based on the Artificial Immune Network algorithm. It implements an intelligent, distributed and autonomous control of the customer´s Air Conditioning ...
