Demand-side management (DSM) has emerged as an important smart grid feature that allows utility companies to maintain desirable grid loads. However, the success of DSM is contingent on active customer participation. Indeed, most existing…
In this work, we present a survey of residential load controlling techniques to implement demand side management in future smart grid. Power generation sector facing important challenges both in quality and quantity to meet the increasing…
Due to proliferation of energy efficiency measures and availability of the renewable energy resources, traditional energy infrastructure systems (electricity, heat, gas) can no longer be operated in a centralized manner under the assumption…
The global move towards efficient energy consumption and production has led to remarkable advancements in the design of the smart grid infrastructure. Local energy trading is one way forward. It typically refers to the transfer of energy…
Energy has been increasingly generated or collected by different entities on the power grid (e.g., universities, hospitals and householdes) via solar panels, wind turbines or local generators in the past decade. With local energy, such…
Peer-to-peer trading in energy networks is expected to be exclusively conducted by the prosumers of the network with negligible influence from the grid. This raises the critical question: how can enough prosumers be encouraged to…
The current trend towards more renewable and sustainable energy generation leads to an increased interest in new energy management systems and the concept of a smart grid. One important aspect of this is local energy trading, which is an…
Electricity usage is a major portion of utility bills and the best place to start lowering them. An effective home energy management approach is introduced to decrease customers' electricity bills by determining the optimal appliance…
This paper studies the feasibility of integrating a community energy storage (CES) system with rooftop photovoltaic (PV) power generation for demand-side management of a neighbourhood while maintaining the distribution network voltages…
This paper investigates interaction among residential electricity users and utility company in a distribution network with the capability of two-way communication provided by smart grid. The energy consumption scheduling of electricity…
Demand-side response from space heating in residential buildings can potentially provide a huge amount of flexibility for the power system, particularly with deep electrification of the heat sector. In this context, this paper presents a…
The increasing number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) have led to rising energy demands which aggregates the burden on grid supply. A few solutions have been proposed to reduce grid load, for example, using storage systems for storing surplus…

We consider the problem of energy management in microgrid networks. A microgrid is capable of generating a limited amount of energy from a renewable resource and is responsible for handling the demands of its dedicated customers. Owing to…
A number of governments and organizations around the world agree that the first step to address national and international problems such as energy independence, global warming or emergency resilience, is the redesign of electricity…
This paper studies how to aggregate prosumers (or large consumers) and their collective decisions in electricity markets, with a focus on fairness. Fairness is essential for prosumers to participate in aggregation schemes. Some prosumers…
The exponential growth of distributed energy resources is enabling the transformation of traditional consumers in the smart grid into prosumers. Such transition presents a promising opportunity for sustainable energy trading. Yet, the…
In this paper, the interactions and energy exchange decisions of a number of geographically distributed storage units are studied under decision-making involving end-users. In particular, a noncooperative game is formulated between…
Most power systems are increasingly based on distributed energy resources, leading to a strong impact on the electrical grid management. In the case of Portugal, the contribution of renewable energy sources to the electricity generation…
In this paper, we study the interactions among interconnected autonomous microgrids, and propose a joint energy trading and scheduling strategy. Each interconnected microgrid not only schedules its local power supply and demand, but also…
