Abstract-This brief proposes a pricing-based energy control strategy to remove the peak load for smart grid. According to the price, energy consumers control their energy consumption to make a tradeoff between the electricity cost and the load curtailment cost. The consumers are interactive with each other because of pricing based on the total load. We formulate the interactions among the consumers into a noncooperative game and give a sufficient condition to ensure a unique equilibrium in the game. We develop a distributed energy control algorithm and provide a sufficient convergence condition of the algorithm. The energy control algorithm starts at the beginning of each time slot, e.g., 15 min. Finally, the energy control strategy is applied to control the energy consumption of the consumers with heating ventilation air conditioning systems. The numerical results show that the energy control strategy is effective in removing the peak load and matching supply with demand, and the energy control algorithm can converge to the equilibrium.
For example, Ma et al. REF proposed a real-time pricing-based energy control scheme to deal with the peak load of the energybased cyber-physical system.
