The effectiveness of DR model depends not only on cost minimization but also on consumer satisfaction and comfort level. The satisfaction of the consumer is measured by benefit functions. In this paper, three benefit functions viz. Quadratic, logarithmic, and exponential have been modeled to study the DR algorithm for effective energy management. And also suggested a method to calculate approximated benefit function. The simulation results are presented for different scenarios.falseBenefit function | consumer load scheduling | demand response | demand side management | energy managementConference Paper17 February 2017107858963cpConference Proceeding7
