In the last decade Demand Response (DR) programs have been influencing loads' profiles of electric users who participate in these programs. The evolution of the simulations able to study them brought to the possibility of defining new models that can consider power consumption profiles for...

DSM (demand-side management) merits increased attention by power system modelers. Numerical models should incorporate DSM constraints in a complete and consistent way. Otherwise, flawed DSM patterns and distorted conclusions on the system benefits of demand-side management are inevitable....
