The Smart Consumers and Energy Demand Model (SmartCED) model is an energy demand management model that uses optimisation for controlling demand-side management in future intelligent grids.
The model is designed to model householder energy demand management, behaviour and diversity. The goal of the model is to evaluate the effect of shifting domestic appliances and heating controls in the future smart energy system. It uses forecasting and optimisation to find the optimum time for demand management and time shifting. The hybrid optimisation method is a stochastic optimisation algorithm. The model has been built in Matlab.
