A methodology for reducing system peak load through load management in industries

In this paper a methodology is presented for load management in industries, which are convenient for rescheduling of technological processes and inconvenient for load shedding or interruption. The proposed methodology determines an optimal scheduling (rescheduling) of individual technological processes with the aim of reducing system peak load. This methodology takes into consideration all technological and/or economical constraints (demands). The presented methodology is based on mixed integer programming and applied to system peak load reduction of Elektrovojvodina.
