As a recently increasing trend among different applications of smart grid vision, smart households as a new implementation area of demand response (DR) strategies have drawn more attention both in research and in engineering practice. On the other hand, optimum sizing of renewable energy based...

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...

The development of the Smart Grids will enable a more interactive and intelligent behaviour of the houses that are connected to the grid. This modification of behaviour of the house must rely on a conjugation of technologies (on-site generation, demand-side management, demand response, etc.)...

In future smart grids, the electricity suppliers can modify the customers' load consumption pattern by implementing appropriate DSM (demand side management) programs using smart meters. Most of the existing studies on DSM, only consider one utility company in the supplier side. In this paper,...

The objective of this paper is to study the impact of scheduling flexibility on both demand profile flatness and user inconvenience in residential smart grid systems. Temporal variations in energy consumption by end users result in peaks and troughs in the aggregated demand profile. In a...
