Exploring household reliability

Master thesis (2026) - K.P.A. Konst, Ö. Okur, E.J.L. Chappin
Interest in the potential of demand response has risen by an increase in need for flexibility in energy systems. Residential demand response (RDR) is one of the potential sources of flexibility this initiative offers. Through an aggregator, households could offer the flexibility gained from altering their demand of certain appliances to the system. However, the uncertainty in their behaviour could limit the potential value of this source. Thus this thesis tries to gain insight into the reliability of household who are participating in an RDR program provided by an aggregator. To this end an agent-based model was designed and implemented. The model describes a RDR program where the aggregator scheduled the use of household semi-flexible appliances day-ahead. The conclusion describes how reliability in terms of time-varying capacity and schedule compliance varies for different households and system situations. ...
