Demand response (DR) is considered an effective approach in mitigating the ever-growing
concerns for supplying the electricity peak demand. Recent attempts have shown that the …

Demand response provides utilities with a mechanism to share with end users the
stochasticity resulting from the use of renewable sources. Pricing is accordingly used to …

Power shortage is a serious issue in developing nations. During periods of high demand,
utilities need to motivate the consumers to curtail their consumption for maintaining grid …

Renewable sources are taking center stage in electricity generation. Due to the intermittent
nature of these renewable resources, the problem of the demand-supply gap arises. To …

Electrical load forecasting is an important task for utility companies, in order to plan future
production and to increase the efficiency of the distribution network. Although load …

Demand Response (DR) is considered an effective mechanism by utilities worldwide to
address demand supply mismatch and reduce energy consumption, peak load and …

Demand response refers to a family of techniques that are available to electricity suppliers to
aid with balancing supply and demand, typically by calling on consumers of electricity to …

Demand Response (DR) programs constitute an efficient way to alleviate the problem of
peak demand in smart grids. While the potential impact of DR can be significant, its success …

Matching demand and supply of electricity generation is difficult in a renewable-rich system.
This is partly due to the long-term variability and short-term uncertainty of wind and solar …

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 …
