Residential Demand Response Based on Weighted Load Shifting and Reduction Target

[摘要] The paper presents a model for demand response of residential consumers including several alternatives for load shifting and for reduction in the electricity bill. The consumer behavior is based on time-of-use tariffs and modeled considering three goals for the end-user: (1) to reduce the electricity bill; (2) to maintain the monthly consumption; and (3) to respond to price signals without load shifting. Using real data from an electrical distribution utility operating in the south of Brazil, we present a practical application that demonstrates the main features and advantages of the proposed model in comparison with available models.
