Resumen
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 requirements (case 1) and another considering economic criterion (case 2). In the upper level, the supplier optimizes the objective function. Meanwhile, at the lower level, users optimize their electrical costs. The proposed methods are based on Genetic Algorithm methods. In this sense, an indirect control is established in which users react to a price signal. Simulation results illustrate that both cases improve the demand profile and increase the retailer profit concerning an unscheduled case. However, when the supplier tries to maximize the profit, some users receive benefits to detriment of others, concluding that the technical approach is preferable to the economic one.
