Research Objectives• Develop new Demand Response models

and tools for various customer categories in an Energy Hub (continuation of an ongoing OCE project):– Industrial Hubs: Various types not considered

so far– Residential Hubs: Buildings– Agricultural Hubs: Implementation of

previously developed greenhouse models– Commercial/Institutional Hubs: Arena models

and implementation• Determine resulting benefits in terms of

reduction in peak load and energy consumption
