Algorithms for a spot price responding residential load controller

Abstract

A description is given of the algorithms designed for use in residential load control systems. The authors present the functions to be fulfilled by such a price-responsive device and describe the end-user devices available in residences and the control logics applicable to each. It is concluded that there is a need to understand customer attitudes and acceptance in the design of the response strategies and in the design of the man-machine interface.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
