Pelka, S. (author)The potential of households to adapt their energy use to the conditions of the energy system remains largely untapped due to shortcomings in consumer governance (i.e., the organization of household energy use). A lack of price signals and services leads to uncoordinated household energy use. Various proposals exist for updating consumer...doctoral thesis 2024

Piccini, Pietro (author)ncentive-based demand response (iDR) programs serve as important tools for distributed system operators (DSOs) to achieve a reduction in electricity demand during periods of grid overload. During these programs, participants can decide to curtail their consumption in exchange for financial incentives. Deciding the amount of curtailment for a...master thesis 2024

Pelka, S. (author), Kesselring, Anne (author), Preuß, Sabine (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Aligning prosumers' electricity consumption to the availability of self-generated electricity decreases CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and costs. Nudges are proposed as one behavioral intervention to orchestrate such changes. At the same time, fragmented findings in the literature make it challenging to identify suitable behavioral interventions...journal article 2024

Pelka, S. (author), Preuß, Sabine (author), Stute, Judith (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Households equipped with flexible technologies, such as electric vehicles, can support the energy transition by shifting electricity consumption to times of high renewable supply and by preventing consumption peaks that cannot be covered by existing grid and generation infrastructure. Demand response services support households in performing...journal article 2024

Stoter, Jasper (author)Seaport operators are becoming more environmentally conscious and are looking to electrify their terminals to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This leads to higher energy-related costs and more congestion on the electricity grid. This thesis investigates the potential of demand response as a viable strategy to reduce energy-related costs....master thesis 2023

Calabrò, Giovanni (author), Le Pira, Michela (author), Giuffrida, Nadia (author), Inturri, Giuseppe (author), Ignaccolo, Matteo (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)This paper presents an agent-based model (ABM) to simulate and compare two different operation strategies of a public transport service in small-sized cities, namely a fixed-route transit (FRT) and a demand-responsive transport (DRT) service, under varying demand rates and supply configurations. The ABM builds upon a previous work by the...conference paper 2023

Vatandoust, Behzad (author), Zad, Bashir Bakhshideh (author), Vallée, François (author), Toubeau, Jean François (author), Bruninx, K. (author)Demand Response (DR) programs offer flexibility that is considered to hold significant potential for enhancing power system reliability and promoting the integration of renewable energy sources. Nevertheless, the distributed nature of DR resources presents challenges in developing scalable optimization tools. This paper explores a novel data...conference paper 2023

van Tilburg, Jasper (author), Cavalcante Siebert, L. (author), Cremer, Jochen (author)This paper presents a decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) approach to an incentive-based Demand Response (DR) program, which aims to maintain the capacity limits of the electricity grid and prevent grid congestion by financially incentivizing residential consumers to reduce their energy consumption. The proposed approach...conference paper 2023

Martinez-Piazuelo, Juan (author), Ananduta, W. (author), Ocampo-Martinez, Carlos (author), Grammatico, S. (author), Quijano, Nicanor (author)We consider a large population of decision makers that choose their evolutionary strategies based on simple pairwise imitation rules. We describe such a dynamic process by the replicator dynamics. Differently from the available literature, where the payoffs signals are assumed to be updated continuously, we consider a more realistic scenario...journal article 2023

Bielefeld, S.E. (author), Cvetkovic, M. (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author)Electrification of processes and utilities is considered a promising option towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the chemical industry. Therefore, electricity demand is expected to increase steeply. Since the sources of future low-carbon electricity are variable in nature, there is a need for strategies to match availability...journal article 2023
