The objective is to minimize the electricity bill of end-consumer while actively participating in ADR program. Besides, the optimal charging and discharging schedule of battery energy storage system has been considered to improve its life expectancy. We have used the comfort index term to quantify end-consumer's comfort level for air conditioners and lighting systems. The scheduling problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear optimization problem. The simulation results with two cases viz. optimized scheduling with and without comfort index and battery degradation cost are presented in this paper.falseAutomated demand response | Dynamic pricing | Home appliances central controllerConference Paper17 December 202099331827cpConference Proceeding7
