With high penetration of renewable generation and distributed energy resources, distribution
systems are facing new operational challenges due to their intermittency and uncertainty. To …

The expansion of distributed electricity generation and the increasing capacity of installed
battery storage systems at the community level have posed challenges to efficient technical …

Time-of-use tariffs are a pricing strategy for a product or service in which the supplier
establishes time-differentiated prices. Dynamic (eg, day-ahead) time-differentiated electricity …

Presently, residential electricity consumers are, in general, charged at flat or dual time-of-
use tariffs along the day, which are defined by the retailer for long periods (eg, one year) …

Households equipped with distributed energy resources, such as storage units and
renewables, open the possibility of self-consumption of on-site generation, sell energy to the …

In this paper, we consider a realistic and meaningful scenario in the context of smart grids
where an electricity retailer serves three different types of customers, ie, customers with an …

In this work, an algorithm for the scheduling of household appliances to reduce the energy
cost and the peak-power consumption is proposed. The system architecture of a home …

Dynamic tariffs are expected to be implemented as commercial offers of electricity retailers in
smart grids, conveying price signals aimed at shaping usage patterns, with potential benefits …

One-level optimization methods have been proposed to optimize the load profile of a single
user or a cluster of users in the smart grids. In this work, two two-level optimization methods …

In this paper, a comparison is made between two bilevel programming models to design
time-of-use tariffs in the electricity retail market. The upper-level objective function consists of …
