Demand-Side Resources for Electric Energy Management

Abstract

Demand side management (DSM) is a scheduling of demand side resources (DSRs) activities such that the desired load shape change can be obtained for better electric power services. These sources are scheduled and optimized for obtaining various objectives as minimization of the cost or maximization of benefits for customers, utilities and environment with the best quality services of electric energy. The purpose of this paper is to provide basic information for the development of algorithms for optimal scheduling for the home energy management (HEM), building energy management (BEM) and distribution system energy management (DSEM) for the objectives.
