The current Energy Market is not yet ready for the integration of the Smart Grid context. Concepts such as Demand Response and Distributed Generation, namely renewable energy resources, are not yet included in current business models in order to the system flow properly. Therefore, the authors...

Rapid growth of energy consumption in last decades, made the world persuaded to energy optimization and management. Therefore, producers and prosumers should be equipped with the automation infrastructures to perform the management programs, like demand response. Office buildings are considering...

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...
