Harnessing the Flexibility of Thermostatic Loads in Microgrids with Solar Power Generation

This paper presents a demand response (DR) framework that intertwines thermodynamic building models with a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization method. The framework optimizes heating/cooling schedules of end-users inside a business park microgrid with local distributed generation from renewabl...
