The increasing use of demand-side management as a tool to reliably meet electricity demand at peak time has stimulated … the growing literature on models used to study demand, consumer baseline (CBL) and demand response in the electricity … market. After characterizing the general demand models, it reviews consumer baseline based on which further study the demand …
