Non Cooperative Game Theoretic Approach for Residential Energy Management in Smart Grid

Demand side management (DSM) is one of the main functionalities of the smart grid as it allows the consumer to adjust its energy consumption for an efficient energy management. Most of the existing DSM techniques aim at minimizing the energy cost while not considering the comfort of consumers. Therefore, maintaining a trade-off between these two conflicting objectives is still a challenging task. This paper proposes a novel DSM approach for residential consumers based on a non-cooperative game theoretic approach, where each player is encouraged to reshape its electricity consumption pattern th…

Unsupervised Disaggregation of Water Heater Load from Smart Meter Data Processing

In the residential sector, electric water heaters are appliances with a relatively high power consumption and a significant thermal inertia, which is particularly suitable for Demand Response schemes. The success of efficient DR schemes via the control of water heaters presupposes an accurate estimate of their power demand at each instant. Although the load of water heaters is rarely directly measured, a large penetration of Smart Meters (SMs) in distribution grids enables to indirectly infer this information on a large scale via load disaggregation. For that purpose, a considerable number of …

Domain Knowledge Aids in Signal Disaggregation; the Example of the Cumulative Water Heater

In this article we present an unsupervised low-frequency method aimed at detecting and disaggregating the power used by Cumulative Water Heaters (CWH) in residential homes. Our model circumvents the inherent difficulty of unsupervised signal disaggregation by using both the shape of a power spike and its time of occurrence to identify the contribution of CWH reliably. Indeed, many CHWs in France are configured to turn on automatically during off-peak hours only, and we are able to use this domain knowledge to aid peak identification despite the low sampling frequency. In order to test our mode…
