Abstract(s)

The energy sector, as many, is being adapted to meet environmental concerns and avoid fossil fuels. So, Smart Grids concept is promoted, penetrating Distributed Generation into the grid, namely renewable-based energy, providing an environmentally friendly alternative. Also, the consumers' role is empowered through Demand Response (DR). The consumers are incentivized to actively modify their consumption behavior receiving the proper remuneration. With this, the power system will decrease operation costs and DR can be used as an alternative to generation. However, manage these new and active resources as well as their transactions in the energy market is a complex task due to the uncertainty associated. Many factors can cause a non-response and the Aggregator must be able to manage these situations mainly when a certain target of reduction is required from the wholesale market. The authors proposed an approach including a Trustworthy Rank to select consumers for on DR events: consumers participate considering their reliability. In the present paper, the effects of the approach will be compared between two seasons, proving the viability on giving the correct information to the community manager and understanding how variable is the behavior of this rank at different times of the year.
