This early stage interdisciplinary research contributes to smart grid advancements by integrating information and communications technology and electric power systems. It aims at tackling the drawbacks of current demand-side energy management schemes by developing an agent-based energy management system that coordinates and optimizes neighbourhood-level aggregate power load. In this paper, we r...

A signi cant property of distributed le systems is scalability which enables the le server to serve les to a large number of clients. Since today's typical networks provide wide bandwidth, the performance of the le server is a major bottleneck of the system. Although using a client-side cache is an e ective technique for improving the server performance, it also causes a problem of consistency ...

Reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of TOU demand response programs. But there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. Smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...

In the field of power systems there is an active research on methods to limit the peak load of power demand. Recently, a new approach to the automatic management of electric loads has been proposed, which is based on scheduling techniques derived from real-time computing systems. The research on real-time scheduling encompasses several aspects, including scheduling algorithms and analysis techn...

This paper provides a high-accuracy assessment of domestic demand-side management (DSM) approach in the context distributed renewable energy sources (RES). To determine potential DSM for households, microgrid model typical UK residential estate was developed to simulate impact RES. The comprises 15 households with appropriate allocation washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers accordance...

—The rising share of energy generation of renewable energies leads to a more volatile energy generation. Large conventional generation capacities have to be kept in the system in order to smooth out the generation patterns of distributed generators. The controllability of electricity generation is on decrease. To improve adaptability of power systems due to these new challenges, the concept of ...
