Realtimes dynamic optimization for demand-side load management

This paper focuses on Demand-Side load Management applied to residential sector. A multi-scale optimization mechanism for demand-side Load management is proposed. It composes the Load Management Layer, which carries out the distribution of the energy in housing. A dynamical limit for power consumption will be applied to each household. The home automation system integrated in each household plays the role of controlling the whole energy consumption in the housing by using service and appliances flexibilities, thus the energy consumption has the possibilities to be modified and controlled. Thanks to the feedback of the satisfaction of the client by the home automation system, the Load Management Layer can modify the limit of power consumption of the household again. This control mechanism takes dynamically into account the comfort of the users and satisfies the constraint from the energy production capabilities. A simulation of 400 housings points out the performance of this control mechanism.
