Aashiyana: Design and Evaluation of a Smart Demand-Response System for Highly-stressed Grids

چکیده
This paper targets the unexplored problem of demand response within the context of power-grids that are allowed to regularly enforce blackouts as a mean to balance supply with demand: highly-stressed grids. Currently these utilities use as a cyclic and binary (power/no-power) schedule over consumer groups leading to significant wastage of capacity and long hours of no-power. We present here a novel building DLC system, Aashiyana, that can enforce several user-defined low-power states. We evaluate distributed and centralized load-shedding schemes using Aashiyana that can, compared to current load-shedding strategy, reduce the number of homes with no power by > 80% for minor change in the fraction of homes with full-power.

Real -Time Pricing Design Considering Uncertainty of Renewable Energy Resources and Thermal Loads in Smart Grids
In this paper, a novel real time pricing design is presented for Demand Response (DR) programs. A Load Serving Entity (LSE) is responsible to provide energy for flexible loads, inflexible loads and thermal loads. The LSE consider operation conditions of system and uncertainty of renewable energy resources and it designs a Real Time Price (RTP) demand response. The inflexible and thermal loads c...
