Thermal energy storage (TES) is widely recognized as a means to integrate renewable
energies into the electricity production mix on the generation side, but its applicability to the …

Water heating contributes an important proportion of residential energy consumption all
around the world. Different kinds of domestic hot-water production systems exist. The …

In this paper, we optimize the Demand Response (DR) control of partial storage electric
space heating using a Linear Programming (LP) approach. The objective is to combine the …

Demand side management (DSM) is a growing concept around the world, particularly in
urban India, recently due to presence of time of day (TOD) tariffs for the large commercial …

Energy management in Smart Home environment is one of the main topics adopted in Smart
Grid research field. In this paper, we present a Multi-Agent System (MAS) for a Smart Home …

Electric water heaters have been regarded as a load to be exploited in residential energy
management applications due to their potential energy storage capacity. Nevertheless, the …

In this paper, a set of field data is used to show that proper voltage control of electric water
heaters (EWHs) during peak-demand hours can reduce aggregate EWH power demand …

Utilizing aggregated electric loads as system resources has several benefits. It can provide
ancillary services for power systems. At the same time, it can provide demand management …

With the increasing presence of renewable energy sources in the electrical power grid,
demand response via thermostatic appliances such as electric water heaters is a promising …

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 …
