Demand-Response: Let the Devices Take our Decisions

The hierarchical, centrally controlled energy grid is ill-suited to the third digital revolution. The electric power industry is undergoing rapid change. The energy transition move from the current energy system using non-renewable resources to a smart grid, including distributed resources and home automation. Now, the demand is flexible and can be managed, it is called Demand-Side-Management (DSM). It encompasses different domains of reducing consumption, it can be both a physical standpoint than digital. In this paper, after a quick state of an art on DSM, we will focus on the digital way. The main idea is to create consumption’s schemes, thanks to home automation in order to find the best way to consume.
