This paper presents a capacity-constrained incentive-based demand response approach for residential smart grids. It aims to maintain electricity grid capacity limits and prevent congestion by financially incentivising end users to reduce or…
In this paper we introduce the problem of dynamic pricing of power for smart-grid networks. This is studied within a network utility maximization (NUM) framework in a deterministic setting with a single provider, multiple users and a finite…
With a growing share of electric vehicles (EVs) in our distribution grids, the need for smart charging becomes indispensable to minimise grid reinforcement. To circumvent the associated capacity limitations, this paper evaluates the…
This paper investigates volumetric grid tariff designs under consideration of different pricing mechanisms and resulting cost allocation across socio-techno-economic consumer categories. In a case study of 1.56 million Danish households…
Flexible loads, i.e. the loads whose power trajectory is not bound to a specific one, constitute a sizable portion of current and future electric demand. This flexibility can be used to improve the performance of the grid, should the right…
This two-part paper addresses the design of retail electricity tariffs for distribution systems with distributed energy resources such as solar power and storage. In particular, the optimal design of dynamic two-part tariffs for a regulated…
The smart power grid aims at harnessing information and communication technologies to enhance reliability and enforce sensible use of energy. Its realization is geared by the fundamental goal of effective management of demand load. In this…
The fast uptake of distributed energy resources (DERs) presents increasing challenges for managing hosting capacity in distribution networks. Existing solutions include direct load control, operating envelopes, and price-based control…
Distribution grids across the world are undergoing profound changes due to advances in energy technologies. Electrification of the transportation sector and the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as photo-voltaic…
We present an online stochastic model predictive control framework for demand charge management for a grid-connected consumer with attached electrical energy storage. The consumer we consider must satisfy an inflexible but stochastic…
This paper proposes a fully distributed Demand-Side Management system for Smart Grid infrastructures, especially tailored to reduce the peak demand of residential users. In particular, we use a dynamic pricing strategy, where energy tariffs…
Aggregate peak Electric Vehicle (EV) charging demand is a matter of growing concern for network operators as it severely limits the network's capacity, preventing its reliable operation. Various tariff schemes have been proposed to limit…
Following recent Danish legislation promoting energy communities, we explore how to enable these communities to provide grid services to distribution system operators. In particular, we focus on "capacity limitation services", where we…
Demand side management (DSM) is a key solution for reducing the peak-time power consumption in smart grids. To provide incentives for consumers to shift their consumption to off-peak times, the utility company charges consumers differential…
The purpose of this paper is to study conflicting objectives between the grid operator and consumers in a future smart grid. Traditionally, customers in electricity grids have different demand profiles and it is generally assumed that the…
In this paper, we adopt constrastive explanations within an end-user application for temporal planning of smart homes. In this application, users have requirements on the execution of appliance tasks, pay for energy according to dynamic…
The electricity grid is expected to require vast investments due to the decarbonization-by-electrification trend, calling for a change in grid tariff design which provides proper incentives for reducing peak loads. However, price signals…
Further electrification of the economy is expected to sharpen ramp rates and increase peak loads. Flexibility from the demand side, which new technologies might facilitate, can help these operational challenges. Electric utilities have…
Meeting the ever-growing needs of the power grid requires constant infrastructure enhancement. There are two important aspects for a grid ability to ensure continuous and reliable electricity delivery to consumers: capacity, the maximum…
The smart grid with its two-way communication and bi-directional power layers is a cornerstone in the combat against global warming. It allows for the large scale adoption of distributed (individually-owned) renewable energy resources such…
