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...

Wholesale electricity markets in many jurisdictions use a two-settlement structure: day-ahead market for bulk power transactions and real-time fine-grain supply-demand balancing. This paper explores trading demand response assets within this structure. We consider two approaches assets: (a) an intermediate spot with contingent pricing, (b) over-the-counter options contract. In the first case, w...

Smart distribution networks (SDNs) plays a significant role in future power networks. Accordingly, the optimal scheduling of such networks, which include planning of consumers and production sections, inconsiderably concerned in recent research studies. In this paper, the optimal planning of energy and reserve of SDNs has been studied. Technical constraints of distribution network and power gen...

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 ...
