In this paper, a scalable framework based on a hierarchical architecture for residential demand response (DR) is introduced. The architecture, which overlays the physical architecture of the power system, allows to decompose the problem into several parts and solve it in a distributed manner. The computational time required to solve the DR optimization problem by this framework is shown to be only dependent on the number of levels in the hierarchical architecture. Hence, when the demand response computation is carried out entirely in parallel, adding more homes to the optimization does not add to the optimization time, thus making the computation scalable. Moreover, since the architecture overlays on the hierarchy of the physical power system, each node’s physical constraints can also be integrated into the optimization problem. Additionally, metrics are introduced to quantify the DR program’s success, balancing between the performance, the number of participants in the DR program as well as the stress on the consumer due to the optimization. For DR management, the consumer comfort as well as the demand response target is considered. The generated schedule can be carried out as a direct load control by the demand response aggregator or through a home energy management system. To demonstrate the scalability of the proposed method a one million home demand response program is successfully simulated and typical results are presented.
