A paradigm shift has to be realized in future energy systems with high shares of renewable energy sources. The electrical demand has to react to the fluctuating electricity generation of renewable energy sources. To this end, flexible electrical loads like electric heating devices coupled with...

As electric vehicles offer a promising choice to deal with the growing air pollution and the global consumption of fossil fuels in the future smart grids, integrating their full benefit in the power system should be of a high priority. Numerous studies surveyed the possibility of...

In this paper, we present an energy management system with the help of aggregator and demand response program (DR). We have considered a smart residential distribution system consisting of residential aggregator, heterogenous consumers and one common charging station (CCS) for EVs. The role of...

With the increasing importance given to smart grid solutions in end-user premises, demand response (DR) strategies applied to smart households are important topics from both real time application and academic theoretic analysis perspectives, recently. In this study, a mixed-integer linear...

This paper presents an optimal load management strategy for residential consumers that utilizes the communication infrastructure of the future smart grid. The strategy considers predictions of electricity prices, energy demand, renewable power production, and power-purchase of energy of the...
