Load-shifting for cost, carbon, and grid benefits: A model-driven adaptive survey with German and Swiss households

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Matteo Barsanti

Survey data helps understand user energy behaviour and inform policies supporting the transition to a renewable, user-centric electricity grid. To explore user responses to dynamic, hypothetical energy scenarios – such as time-varying electricity tariffs o ...

Beyond the average consumer: Mapping the potential of demand-side management among patterns of appliance usage

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Matteo Barsanti, Selin Yilmaz

To support the decarbonisation of the power sector and offset the volatility of a system with high levels of renewables, there is growing interest in residential Demand-Side Management (DSM) solutions. Traditional DSM strategies require consumers to active ...

Surveys, survey-informed models, and model-informed surveys: Socio-technical modelling of household energy demand heterogeneity for effective demand-side management

Matteo Barsanti

Europe's ambitious climate target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 requires a fundamental shift in grid management strategies, focusing on adjusting volume and time of demand to reliably integrate an increasing share of non-programmable renew ...

Informing targeted Demand-Side Management: Leveraging appliance usage patterns to model residential energy demand heterogeneity

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Matteo Barsanti

The transition towards decentralised and decarbonised electricity systems requires a detailed understanding of residential energy demand to inform effective Demand-Side Management (DSM) strategies. Current modelling approaches predominantly rely on socio-d ...

Impact of Heat Pump Electrification in Distribution Grids through a Socio-technical Approach

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Matteo Barsanti

Predicting the timing and form of grid operation challenges under heat electrification helps to mitigate such challenges with quick and cost-effective interventions, which supports energy transition. However, most current modeling approaches focus on techn ...
