This paper presents a study about centralized management of domestic electrical demand side. The purpose of the work is to show all steps behind optimal management of a domestic user. First it is investigated which domestic devices can be managed. The choice falls on interruptible devices in order to reduce of discomfort given to inhabitants of dwellings. Then total load of interruptible device...

We consider interruptible electricity contracts issued by a distributor of electricity, that allow for interruptions to electric service in exchange for either an overall reduction in the price of electricity delivered, or for financial compensation at the time of interruption. We provide an equilibrium model to determine electricity prices, based on stochastic models of supply and demand. In t...

This paper addresses the problem of building an interruptible real-time system using contract algorithms. Contract algorithms offer a tradeoff between computation time and quality of results, but their run-time must be determined when they are activated. Many AI techniques provide useful contract algorithms that are not interruptible. We show how to optimally sequence contract algorithms to cre...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the study of energy communities. This new definition refers to community sharing resources different types meet its needs and reduce associated costs. Optimization is one most widely used techniques for scheduling operation an community. this study, we extensively reviewed mathematical models depending on objectives constraints considered. T...

Smart Grids are result of utilizing novel technologies such as distributed energy resources, and communication technologies in power system to compensate some of its defects. Various power resources provide some benefits for operation domain however, power system operator should use a powerful methodology to manage them. Renewable resources and load add uncertainty to the problem. So, independe...

in restructured power systems and in a wholesale power market, a distribution company as a market player intends to maximize its profit by utilizing its options. hence determining an optimal energy acquisition strategy for a distribution company is vital, for attaining to this goal. however an important challenge for determining these strategies is forecasting other competitors and generation c...

In this paper we investigate protocols for scheduling applications that consist of large numbers of identical, independent tasks on large-scale computing platforms. By imposing a tree structure on an overlay network of computing nodes, our previous work showed that it is possible to compute the schedule which leads to the optimal steady-state task completion rate. However, implementing this opt...

To ensure the stability of the power grid, backup capacities are called upon when electricity supply does not meet demand due to unexpected changes in the grid. As part of the demand response efforts in recent years, large electricity consumers are encouraged by financial incentives to provide such operating reserve in the form of load reduction capacities (interruptible load). However, a major...

Energy management of virtual power plants (VPPs) directly affects operators’ operating profits and is also related to users’ comfort economy. In order provide a reasonable scheme for scheduling each unit the VPP improve VPP, this study focuses on optimization energy under premise ensuring flexible load users. First, loads are divided into time-shiftable (TL), power-variable (PL), interruptible ...
