Business models that are prepared to deal with small consumers and/or with small Distributed Generation units need to emerge to deal with this problem. The authors present a methodology able to minimize the operation costs for the Aggregator of these small resources but also find a fair remuneration according to their participation in the management of the local grid. The methodology could be explored by two approaches depending on time horizon: planning or operation. In the present paper, the two will be compared showing the viability of the path selected by the authors for the real-time approach - assign a remuneration group to a consumer considering the actual participation and the rules provided by a classification method.engAggregationBusiness ModelClassificationDecision TreesDemand Responseconference object10.1109/ISAP48318.2019.9065969
