Load Scheduling for Residential Demand Response on Smart Grids

Categories (Mixed) Integer Linear Programming, Energy Tags , , ,

The residential load scheduling problem is concerned with finding an optimal schedule for the operation of residential loads so as to minimize the total cost of energy while aiming to respect a prescribed limit on the power level of the residence. We propose a mixed integer linear programming formulation of this problem that accounts for … Read more

A decentralized framework for the optimal coordination of distributed energy resources

Categories (Mixed) Integer Linear Programming, Energy Tags , , , , ,

Demand-response aggregators are faced with the challenge of how to best manage numerous and heterogeneous Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). This paper proposes a decentralized methodology for optimal coordination of DERs. The proposed approach is based on Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and column generation, thus allowing to integrate any type of resource whose operation can be formulated within … Read more
