Estrella, Rodrigo (author), Belgioioso, Giuseppe (author), Grammatico, S. (author)We address the demand-side management (DSM) problem for smart grids where the users have energy generation and storage capabilities, and where the energy price depends on the renewable energy sources and on the aggregate electricity demand. Each user aims at reducing its economic cost by selecting the best energy schedule subject to its local...journal article 2019
