Abstract
Demand side management programs are strategies designed to alter the s hape of the load curve. In order to successfully implement such a stra tegy, customer acceptance of the program is vital. it is thus desirabl e to design a model for direct load control which may accommodate cust omer preferences. This paper presents a methodology for optimizing bot h customer satisfaction and utility unit commitment savings, based on a fuzzy load model for the direct load control of appliances.
