The SG (smart grid) is a modernized and a future-oriented electric grid that deals with the whole energy chain, from generation to consumer. Among the SG applications, DR (demand response) is an important control mechanism to manage the electricity consumption of the customer in response to...

The growing demand for electricity, coupled with increased efficiency requirements, creates new opportunities for the development of demand-side management systems. Here we describe an approach for load allocation among different classes of device. We adopt the concept of strategic choice to...

Demand response algorithms can cut peak energy use, driving energy conservation and enabling renewable energy sources, as well as reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. The use of these technologies is becoming increasingly popular, especially in smart-grid scenarios. We describe a home-to-grid...
