A class of models for load management application and evaluation revisited

Abstract

The problem of load modeling for Demand Side Management (EM) purposes is addressed in this paper. The proposed load models rely on information about both the physical characteristics of elemental load devices at the distribution level, and usage statistics of these devices. Although the class of models discussed here has been previously proposed in the literature, its suitability for DSM purposes is definitely established by showing how the models can be a tool for real EM actions evaluation. Some results are shown.
