Energy storage and demand response are used in the smart grid to compensate for fluctuations and forecasting errors in demand and production. Demand response can also be used as a form of storage, where load rather than supply is stored. In the first part of this talk, we propose a system wide model for real time demand response. The model shows that evaporation, namely the fraction of delayed demand that eventually disappears, plays a central role. Further, large backlogs of delayed demand may accumulate. In a second part, we study a model of real storage, using pump hydro. We revisit an existing study by Bejan et al.; we study the impact of energy conversion efficiency and of the quality of wind predictions. We study storage control policies and find strategies that outperform the proposed fixed level policies.
