"Modeling Intertemporal Effects in the Optimal Power Flow - An Approach to Demand Side Management" - An optimal power flow framework is proposed as a tool to establish the price signals according to which consumers may adapt their demand in a maximum welfare framework. Price-responsive loads are modeled through benefit functions, employing the concepts of price-elasticity and cross time price-elasticity. The latter concept allows the representation of intertemporal effects in consumer behavior. A general Dynamic Optimal Power Flow (DOPF) is proposed, which allows the representation of intertemporal factors as problem constraints, as well as in the objective function. This DOPF is applied to thermal systems as well as to hydrothennal systems via Primal-dual Interior Point methods.
