In smart grid, the demand side management (DSM) techniques need to be designed to process a large number of controllable loads of several types. In this paper, we proposed a framework to study the demand side management in smart grid which…
We propose and solve a stochastic dynamic programming (DP) problem addressing the optimal provision of regulation service reserves (RSR) by controlling dynamic demand preferences in smart buildings. A major contribution over past dynamic…
The proliferation of highly capable mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has significantly increased the demand for wireless access. Software defined network (SDN) at edge is viewed as one promising technology to simplify the…
FERC Order 745 allows demand response owners to sell their load reduction in the wholesale market. However, in order to be able to sell the load reduction, some implementation challenges must be addressed, one of which is to establish…
Electrified heating systems with thermal storage, such as electric boilers and heat pumps, represent a major source of demand-side flexibility. Under current electricity market designs, balance responsible parties (BRPs) operating such…
Resource-constrained robots often suffer from energy inefficiencies, underutilized computational abilities due to inadequate task allocation, and a lack of robustness in dynamic environments, all of which strongly affect their performance.…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has proven its effectiveness in mitigating hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs) by retrieving knowledge from external resources. To adapt LLMs for the RAG systems, current approaches use…
We consider the problem of demand-side energy management, where each household is equipped with a smart meter that is able to schedule home appliances online. The goal is to minimize the overall cost under a real-time pricing scheme. While…
Distribution locational marginal pricing (DLMP) can adversely affect users in a grid-constrained transactive distribution system market (DSM) that are at a distance away from the substation, requiring longer paths to connect to the…
The classic Dial-A-Ride Problem (DARP) aims at designing the minimum-cost routing that accommodates a set of user requests under constraints at an operations planning level, where users' preferences and revenue management are often…
Regulators and utilities have been exploring hourly retail electricity pricing, with several existing programs providing day-ahead hourly pricing schedules. At the same time, customers are deploying distributed energy resources and smart…
Dynamic time-of-use tariffs incentivise changes in electricity consumption. This paper presents a non-parametric method to retrospectively analyse consumption data and quantify the significance of a customer's observed response to a dynamic…
Efficient energy management in prosumer households is key to alleviating grid stress in an energy transition marked by electric vehicles (EV), renewable energies and battery storage. However, it is unclear how households optimize prosumer…
We consider a repeated game where a player self-reports her usage of a service and is charged a payment accordingly by a center. The center observes a partial signal, representing part of the player's true consumption, which is generated…
We compare two Demand Side Management (DSM) mechanisms, introduced respectively by Mohsenian-Rad et al (2010) and Baharlouei et al (2012), in terms of efficiency and fairness. Each mechanism defines a game where the consumers optimize their…
Memory systems are widely adopted to enhance LLMs for long-horizon tasks, and are commonly organized as multi-agent pipelines with memory building, summarizing, and retrieval agents. To empower this system, existing RL-based methods either…
Volatile electricity prices make demand response (DR) attractive for processes that can modulate their production rate. However, if nonlinear dynamic processes must be scheduled simultaneously with their local multi-energy system, the…
With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, distributed energy generation and storage facilities in smart grid systems, an efficient Demand-Side Management (DSM) is urgent for energy savings and peak loads reduction. Traditional…
The global economy is one of today's major challenges, with increasing relevance in recent decades. A frequent observation by policy makers is the lack of tools that help at least to understand, if not predict, economic crises. Currently,…
Demand Side Response (DSR) is a strategy that enables consumers to actively participate in managing electricity demand. It aims to alleviate strain on the grid during high demand and promote a more balanced and efficient use of (renewable)…
