Abstract:

A suboptimal hierarchical approach for the management of demand response events (DRE) is proposed. We introduce a DRE model that explicitly accounts for on/off loads and leverages the inherent storage capacity of thermal loads provided by their in- ertia. Our approach can compute in a tractable time a feasible suboptimal solution to the DRE management problem, with proven convergence guarantees, while user privacy is preserved. We present an MPC imple- mentation of our approach and show the performance of our strategy in different DRE simulation scenarios
