This paper proposes a review of the scientific literature on electric load management (ELM).
Relevant topics include the smart grid, demand-side management, demand-response …

The problem of limiting the peak load of the power consumed by a set of electric loads has
been largely addressed in over 5 decades of research on power systems. The motivation of …

This paper presents an innovative approach to use real-time scheduling techniques for the
automation of electric loads in Cyber-Physical Power Systems. The goal is to balance the …

A substantial fraction of the energy demand of buildings comes from air-conditioners (ACs),
refrigerators, etc., which do not need human interaction for their continuous operations. So …

In this paper we consider the problem of scheduling energy consumption loads in the setting
of smart electric grids. Each load is characterized as a" job" by a start (arrival) time and a …

Limiting peak-loads and reduction in energy consumption are two important considerations
in the design of smart-home control systems. A smoother load profile benefits both utilities …

A new approach based on real-time scheduling has been recently proposed for the
management of electric loads composing a power system with the goal to reduce the peak …

This paper presents an interaction mechanism between electric vehicles (EVs) and a
microgrid such as a shopping mall, and then designs an efficient electricity trade coordinator …

The coordination of appliances in a smart building to limit the peak load is one of the
common objectives of power load management approaches such as the Demand-Side …

This paper presents a design and evaluates the performance of a charging task scheduler
for electric vehicles, aiming at reducing the peak load and improving the service ratio in …
