We propose a nested Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, combined with dynamic programming, for the distributed scheduling of a large heterogeneous fleet of residential appliances with nonlinear behavior. A cascaded column generation approach gives a scalable optimization strategy, provided that the problem has a suitable structure. The presented approach extends the TRIANA smart grid framework for predictive...
This paper presents the work program of DESIMAX, a collaborative research project looking at wide-scale implementation of demand side management (DSM) within electricity networks. To fully understand the implications of extended use of DSM, it is important to develop multi-scale models that will be able to capture, predict and demonstrate the response of the power system at time scales ranging from...
Consumer electronics products will be an integral part of the Smart Grid. Products will include smartened power consuming appliances, Consumer purchased power generators and in-home storage. These products lead to a more complex relationship between Consumers and utilities. We discuss how these products appear to the Smart Grid and the features required of the grid in order to manage them.
There is a growing concern worldwide to reduce the carbon footprint through reducing reliance on fossil fuel based energy sources and improving energy efficiency. Fueled by this, the quest to enable a Smart Grid, which aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, match the demand to the available supply and improve energy efficiency is gaining momentum. One of the key components of the Smart Grid will...
Smart grid provides remarkable opportunities for residential energy management. Residential energy management covers a large number of devices and techniques, from basic components, such as energy saving light bulbs to more complex methods, such as coordinating the household load. With the use of smart meters, smart grid enables two-way communication between the utilities and their consumers, where...
Continuous connection of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) technology on a “fit and forget” basis may lead to inefficiently low utilization of generation and network assets. In order to mitigate this effect, a reappraisal of the technical, regulatory, and commercial frameworks that shape decisions on future network design, investment, operation, and pricing are required. The transition of distribution...
