This paper proposes a hybrid approach to optimal day-ahead pricing for demand response management. At the customer-side, compared with the existing work, a detailed, comprehensive and complete energy management system, which includes all…
In order to manage peak-grid events, utilities run incentive-based demand response (DR) programs in which they offer an incentive to assets who promise to curtail power consumption, and impose penalties if they fail to do so. We develop a…
Modern renewables-based power systems need to tap on the flexibility of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) connected to distribution networks. It is important, however, that DER owners/users remain in control of their assets, decisions,…
We study a routing and appointment scheduling problem with uncertain service and travel times arising from home service practice. Specifically, given a set of customers within a service region that an operator needs to serve, we seek to…
This paper introduces a demand-side distributed and secured energy commitment framework and operations for a Power Producer and Supplier (PPS) in deregulated environment. Due to the diversity of geographical location as well as customers'…
We consider a distribution logistics scenario where a shipping operator, managing a limited amount of resources, receives a stream of collection requests, issued by a set of customers along a booking time-horizon, that are referred to a…
A major challenge to implementing residential demand response is that of aligning the objectives of many households, each of which aims to minimize its payments and maximize its comfort level, while balancing this with the objectives of an…
Dynamic pricing is both an opportunity and a challenge to the demand side. It is an opportunity as it better reflects the real time market conditions and hence enables an active demand side. However, demand's active participation does not…
A rational behavior of a consumer is analyzed when the user participates in a Peak Time Rebate (PTR) mechanism, which is a demand response (DR) incentive program based on a baseline. A multi-stage stochastic programming is proposed from the…
Real-time quantification of residential building energy flexibility is needed to enable a cost-efficient operation of active distribution grids. A promising means is to use the so-called flexibility envelope concept to represent the…
The joint management of heat and power systems is believed to be key to the integration of renewables into energy systems with a large penetration of district heating. Determining the day-ahead unit commitment and production schedules for…
Dynamic operating envelopes (DOEs) offer an attractive solution for maintaining network integrity amidst increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in low-voltage (LV) networks. Currently, the focus of DOEs primarily…
Dynamic scheduling problems are important optimisation problems with many real-world applications. Since in dynamic scheduling not all information is available at the start, such problems are usually solved by dispatching rules (DRs), which…
Increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) within distribution feeders provides unprecedented flexibility at the distribution-transmission interconnection. To exploit this flexibility and to use the capacity potential of…
Demand-responsive connector (DRC) services are increasingly recognized for their convenience, comfort, and efficiency, offering seamless integrations between travelers' origins/destinations and major transportation hubs such as rail…
Renewable energy productions and electrification of mobility are promising solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Their effective integration in a power grid encounters several challenges. The uncertain nature of renewable energy…
The widespread adoption of photovoltaic (PV), electric vehicles (EVs), and stationary energy storage systems (ESS) in households increases system complexity while simultaneously offering new opportunities for energy regulation. However,…
The customer baseline is required to assign rebates to participants in baseline-based demand response (DR) programs. The average baseline method has been widely accepted in practice due to its simplicity and reliability. However, the…
Thermal-aware workload distribution is a common approach in the literature for power consumption optimization in data centers. However, data centers also have other operational costs such as the cost of equipment maintenance and…
The performance of an energy system under a real-time pricing mechanism depends on the consumption behavior of its customers, which involves uncertainties. In this paper, we consider a system operator that charges its customers with a…
