Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are time-varying.\u00a0To enhance their usage, demand will need to be adjusted to meet supply,\u00a0rather than the other way around as is traditional.\u00a0This raises several issues lying at the confluence of economic behavior\u00a0and elasticity, demand pooling, implicit or explicit storage, information availability,\u00a0privacy, adaptation and control.\u00a0This talk will propose several designs and architectures, strategies and theories for demand response.<\/p>\n
