Collective Energy Consumption Scheduling for Aggregated Smart Buildings
摘要
The coordinated load scheduling problem in residential sector based on an independent method of dynamic pricing schemes is addressed in this chapter. For this purpose, a collective energy consumption scheduling (CECS) algorithm using combination of energy consumption plans under a bi-level game theory method is proposed. First, a local level collects data from individual users and focuses on the reduction of selfish load demand. Then, an external demand management system is designed. It is focused on modeling a coalition between the local load management modules, as well as giving the redistributed demand profiles to maximize the global profit through a peak load minimization, financial gain and peak-to-average ratio reduction. The proposed CECS algorithm considers a non-static load management strategy for the flexibility of consumer requirement. Consequently, users are permitted to change their daily power demand patterns depending on their requirements, needs, and preferences.
