Data model for Demand Side Management

Abstract

Demand Side Management (DSM) is a portfolio of measures to improve the energy system mainly at the consumption level. In this paper we propose a data model for DSM stating from the optimization methods approach in SMARTRADE project from different perspectives of several entities that include: Transmission System Operator (TSO)/Distribution System Operators (DSOs) perspectives in case of security/reliability concerns: minimum amount of load (or generation) shedding; aggregators perspective in case of demand or generation shedding request: Which demand (or generators) should be shed?; consumers perspective: load shifting (time-of-use (ToU) tariffs) and optimum contract strategies with the aggregators (also known as balancing responsible parties- BRP) for load shedding.
