This review presents an overview of the existing state-of-the-art practices of improved
performance in buildings required for the algorithmic logic and/or hardware. The main focus …

The rapid growth of air conditioners (ACs) in developing regions exacerbates some of the
issues present in their electricity systems. Direct Load Control strategies can manage peak …

Smart Grids (SGs) constitute the evolution of the traditional electrical grid towards a new
paradigm, which should increase the reliability, the security and, at the same time, reduce …

Active queue management (AQM) is a technique to avoid serious congestion of the
transmission control protocol (TCP) flows at a router. AQM based on control theory, which …

High penetration of solar energy can result in voltage rise in midday, while growth in
residential air conditioning is the main contributor of overloading and voltage drop issues …

This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost system oriented to the
synchronised and real-time surveillance and monitoring of electrical parameters of different …

We address demand-side management of dispatchable loads in a residential microgrid by
means of decentralized controllers deployed in each household. Controllers simultaneously …

In this paper, we present a multi-objective approach for the optimal control of dispatchable
loads and bi-directional energy storages in a microgrid, commonly referred as the unit …

The purpose of this paper is to review the scientific literature on direct load control (DLC)
technology in the context of a smart grid (SG). This study synthesized and compared various …

The development of smart grid technology acts as new brain to the power generation and
distribution network. Through this technology, the network is not only going to get integrated …
