Demand side management (DSM) and net metering (NM) are two important strategies that can be used in smart energy systems to help utilities reduce peak loads increase the penetration of renewable energy, while also enabling customers save bills. In order effectively implement DSM NM programs, it is identify who most likely benefit from these programs quantify economic impact for both end-users. ...

This paper investigates how concepts from game theory and ICT can contribute to solve challenges in demand side management, an important concept in the upcoming smart grid. Demand side management is about modifying the energy load distribution on the demand side, for example in order to reduce peaks in energy usage. This can be done by shifting energy demands where possible. We start with descr...
