Abstract

The variability introduced by wind and solar energy, along with the increasing number of storage elements, introduces new challenges into the electricity grid. Factors such as weather conditions and individual usage patterns further contribute to uncertainty in energy consumption predictions. Our presentation focuses on a demand-side management model and probability maximization-based optimization approach that schedules controllable devices over various time frames while considering unpredictable energy use. Our solver is designed for straightforward implementation and demonstrates resilience to noise in gradient calculations, offering a practical solution to managing demand amidst the growing adoption of EVs and the fluctuating nature of renewable energy inputs.
