Forecasting the production of photovoltaic (PV) and wind power systems inevitably implies inaccuracies. Therefore, sales made based on forecasts almost always require the vendor to make balancing efforts. In the absence of resources available within their own portfolios, operators can turn...

This paper explores the economic benefits that wind and photovoltaic power plant operators can extract from the activation of flexible loads during their market operations. We compare two alternatives: (1) use of flexible loads to maximize relative day-ahead market value by shifting the...

In this paper a set of ten different single-equation models of household energy demand is being analyzed. These simple models are being derived by the imposition of linear parameter restrictions on a fairly general autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model in log-linear form. Household energy...

The present paper shows how cointegration analysis within a multivariate framework may be applied for the estimation of energy demand elasticities in order to account for the non-stationarity of the time series used. The dynamic modelling approach followed is one based on general-to-specific...
