Abstract-We propose a novel demand side management method to tackle the intermittency in wind power generation. Our focus is on an isolated microgrid with one wind turbine, one fastresponding conventional generator, and several users. Users act as independent decision makers in shaping their own load profiles. Using dynamic potential game theory, we analyze and coordinate the interactions among users to efficiently utilize the available renewable and conventional energy resources to minimize the total energy cost in the system. We further model the intertemporal variations of the available wind power as a Markov chain based on field data. Using techniques from dynamic potential game theory, we first derive closed-form expressions for the best responses for the users that participate in demand side management. Then, we investigate the efficiency of the constructed game model at the equilibrium. Finally, the system performance is assessed using computer simulation. In particular, our proposed scheme saves 38% generation cost compared with the case without demand side management.
