for Special Section on
"Industrial and Commercial Demand Response"

The Theme: Non-residential (industrial and commercial) customers have great potential in providing flexibility for power systems through
diverse Demand Response (DR) programs. Intelligent energy management can be carried out with DR in industrial and commercial facilities,
especially if on-site control, information and communication technologies are available, enabling also the inherent automation capabilities of
heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Due to the dawn of the Smart Grid era, with increasing distributed generation and the
conversion of traditionally passive consumers to newly active energy players in the market, DR is being effectively considered for outage
management and network reinforcement deferral. The industrial and commercial potential of DR is not yet completely understood, especially
regarding the emerging and advanced technologies associated to the Smart Grid. Advances in smart meter technology that allow monitoring
and controlling responsive loads in near real-time will also be key enablers of DR potential. It can be more complex to implement DR for
industrial loads if compared to residential loads mainly due to the reliability management that is more vital for industrial plants.
An interruption of service may lead to stopping production or violating operational constraints of the plant. Industrial processes can be
interdependent and correlated, being difficult to isolate and shed separately. Several manufacturing processes are critically dependent on time
and must be scheduled with high precision. DR solutions can reduce costs related to energy consumption and increase renewable sources
exploitation. This special section aims at providing a forum to discuss the most recent advances on Industrial and Commercial DR.
Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Advanced informatics for industrial/commercial DR
- Industrial/commercial DR schemes, programs and optimization models
- Information and communication infrastructure of industrial/commercial DR
- Sensors, metering and control technologies for industrial/commercial DR
- Industrial/commercial DR interactions with renewable/distributed generation
- Trading industrial/commercial DR in wholesale and retail markets
- Dynamic prices and tariffs in industrial/commercial DR
- Price prediction and/or load forecasting for industrial/commercial DR
- Strategic market behavior of industrial/commercial DR aggregation agents
- Industrial/commercial DR participation in ancillary services
- Electric vehicles and energy storage participation in industrial/commercial DR
- Integration of multi-energy systems with industrial/commercial DR
- Security and privacy issues related to industrial/commercial DR
- New and existing business models for industrial/commercial DR
- Cost/benefit evaluation, barriers and drivers of industrial/commercial DR
- Regulation, protocols and standards of industrial/commercial DR
Real industrial case studies are especially welcome, discussing new application areas and resulting new DR developments.
All contributions must focus on industrial and/or commercial (non-residential) applications of DR.
