Abstract

Abstract: Energy is of interest for all sectors and all players for different reasons. The emergence of cooperatives in the field of renewables, the need of social and market acceptance of the clean energy resources, the need for stakeholder empowerment towards the implementation of energy projects, the open energy market and the new actors and roles of the so far traditional consumers are some major triggers of increased cooperation of different stakeholders and carriers on energy projects. Under these conditions, the transformation, conversion, and storage of various forms of energy can be served in centralized units called, Energy Ηubs. Energy hubs components can participate in demand response schemes offering flexibility and efficient use of the resources. This paper studies the demand response schemes that have been proposed in the literature and performs a comparison study among them based in certain parameters such as economic operation, reliability, flexibility etc.
