Demand-side Flexibility in Smart Grid

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology ((BRIEFSAPPLSCIENCES))

Abstract

The role of flexibility in increasing the efficiency and stability of the grid is an undeniable fact. In flexibility utilization, first step is known to be characterisation, meaning detrermining metrics and indices capable of describing and quantifying flexibility, next step would be forecasting available flexibility. Forecasting Demand-side flexibility refers to the actions which forecast the portion of demand in the system that is changeable or shiftable in response to the signals provided by different entities (e.g., HEMS, aggregator, system operator, etc).
