Microgrids and smart grids are largely accepted concepts in power energy systems. They bring an innovative and distributed view to the old centralized system. This demands a more active participation from end-consumers, that can be achieved by using demand response and demand side management. In this paper it is proposed a solution for demand side management involving and agent-based architectures that was depl...
Electric power systems have been altered at the operating and planning level in the last years. Evidence of this was the liberalization of the energy market and the implementation of concepts such as smart grids and the active participation of consumers through demand response programs. The main objective of the present paper is to propose an emulation model for asynchronous motors, in the scope of dynamic meas...
Distributed energy resources can contribute to an improved operation of power systems, improving economic and technical efficiency. However, aggregation of resources is needed to make these resources profitable. The present paper proposes a methodology for distributed resources management by a Virtual Power Player (VPP), addressing the resources scheduling, aggregation and remuneration based on the aggregation ...

Currently, the use of demand response programs and renewable energy resource are a reality in the power distribution network. Therefore, an efficient and optimal energy resource management is required for fully benefit from these new concepts of power system as well as avoiding energy wasting. In this paper, a methodologyis represented in order to support the aggregator activities, with the aim of participation...
The growing number of distributed energy resources in power systems, leads to the appearance of new entities and roles for the existing ones that affect the operation of the network. One of these entities with more relevance, is the aggregator, either independent or represented by public organizations. An aggregator manages small-sizemdistributed energy resources, creating a virtual amount of energy flexibility...
Distributed energy resource integration in power systems has advantages and challenges in both the economic and the technical operation of the system. An aggregator, as in the case of a Virtual Power Player, is essential in order to support the operation of these small size resources. Innovative approaches capable of supporting the decisions made in terms of resource scheduling, aggregation and remuneration are...
Currently the use of distributed energy resources, especially renewable generation, and demand response programs are widely discussed in scientific contexts, since they are a reality in nowadays electricity markets and distribution networks. In order to benefit from these concepts, an efficient energy management system is needed to prevent energy wasting and increase profits. In this paper, an optimization base...
Distributed energy resources integration into energy markets and power systems operation has been one of the main concerns of operators and other entities, mainly because of the recent growth and the features that these resources can provide. The need for managing tools that provide solutions to these concerns is evident, and can be addressed through several ways. The present paper proposes a model for the inte...
Several countries promote wind energy despite their high installation cost, since over time these investments can become profitable. It is important that energy entrepreneurs have up-to-date information of operation parameters, to identify places where excessive energy consumption occurs. For energy management, it is necessary to have an overview of the whole system, such that reporting and further result analy...
