Abstract: In the Smart Grid context, the involvement of end-users is a key element for the implementation of demand response, as a way to enhance the energy efficiency of the electricity infrastructure also enabling to cope with the intermittency of renewable energy sources. Although the participation of end-users may result in higher complexity of system management, it may have a positive impact on mitigating the volatility of electricity prices. End-users may also be a key component in the provision of ancillary services using demand side resources to offer the system operator additional means to enhance system flexibility, robust planning, constraint management and operation scheduling, contributing to the balance between load and supply under a load follows supply paradigm.
