In this report, we give an overview of multicommodity aggregative models of resource management by both tenants and public, neutral clouds. A tenant will use an estimate of a near-future net valuation to make decisions regarding IT resource1/VM procurement [1], load balancing, or demand response. Models of uncertainty in the required resources and of statistical multiplexing are given. We study...

The aggregation and management of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) by an Virtual Power Players (VPP) is an important task in a smart grid context. The Energy Resource Management (ERM) of theses DERs can become a hard and complex optimization problem. The large integration of several DERs, including Electric Vehicles (EVs), may lead to a scenario in which the VPP needs several hours to have a...

Power systems are in the midst of radical changes as a result of steadily rising demand, advanced technology integration and increasing penetration levels of renewable energy sources. Such developments have brought about increasing recognition of consumer behavior and the provision of DR (demand response). The aggregation of small loads as a DR flexibility resource allows end-users to participa...

The development of advanced metering technologies makes demand response (DR) able to provide fast response services, e.g., primary frequency control. It is recognized that DR can contribute to the primary frequency control like thermal generators. This paper proposes a day-ahead scheduling method that considers DR as a frequency control resource, so that the DR resources can be dispatched prope...

Abstract. The theoretical problems of demand-side management are examined in without regard to the type of resource whose demand is to be managed, and the Maximum Demand problem is identified and addressed in a system consisting of independent processes that consume the resource. It is shown that the Maximum Demand problem generalizes the Santa Fe Bar Problem of game theory, and the basic prope...

The demand-side management scheme, one of the smart grid’s distribution side features, is well accepted due to its role in controlling energy consumption residential buildings by ensuring sustainability, leading concept buildings. consumers’ appropriate response without compromising comfort, referred as demand response, helps decrease their electricity bill. Further, flexibility and controllabi...
