An Aggregator for Demand Side Management at Domestic Level Including PEVs

The increasing availability of electrical equipment characterized by high efficiency and controllability is helping to increase the energy needs in the residential sector through the electric vector. In order to avoid congestion and stressed distribution infrastructure it is appropriate to manage in an optimized way the residential loads. This is also made possible by the new trends in ICT technologies, that are spreading all over. In this way, the needs of distributors (Distribution System Operators– DSOs and end-users can be scheduled optimally achieving win-win interaction. End-users can indeed benefit from an optimization-oriented maximum savings. DSOs or aggregators can also implement different objectives (economic or security) established at a higher level. The work is focused on the formulation of the mathematical problem.
