Smart Grid technology appears necessary to succeed in activating the demand through demand side management (DSM) programs. This would in turn improve energy efficiency and achieve environmental targets through controlled consumption. The many pilot projects led worldwide involving smart grids...

Le développement des réseaux intelligents apparaît aujourd'hui comme l'une des mesures d'activation de la demande électrique, qui servira à atteindre des objectifs d'efficacités énergétiques et environnementales grâce à la maîtrise des consommations. Depuis maintenant une dizaine...

The aim of this work is to demonstrate analytically under what conditions activating elasticity of demand of consumers could be beneficial for the social welfare. It has added to the literature on analyzing the use of price signals in eliciting demand response by an analytical approach. We...

Cette étude décrit et commente deux cas d'adoption de technologie de comptage intelligent ; les cas allemand et britannique qui ont tous deux libéralisé leur marché de comptage. Il est ici question de mettre en lumière les différentes approches choisies par ces deux pays envers l'adoption...

The new pricing schemes, enabling smart grids technologies and remote control equipments allow retail consumers to procure demand response resources and participate more intensely in the efficient functioning of markets. This fact is inducing significant changes regarding the roles historically...

In this paper we study the economic consequences of two real-time electricity market designs (with or without penalties) taking into account the opportunistic behaviors of market players. We implement a two-stage dynamic model to consider the interaction between the forward market and the...

It is puzzling today to explain both the diversity and the rationale of regulators' practice vis-à-vis network monopolies. We argue that two fundamental characteristics should be considered when defining the most appropriate regulatory tools. First, it is the bounded endowment of regulators set...
