Abstract

To address current challenges in the management of energy grids, Demand-Side-Management (DSM) is one possibility. In this field various approaches exist but consider often different constraints regarding appliances. This paper aims at identifying these constraints through a triangulation: we conducted two literature reviews and several expert interviews simultaneously to derive a taxonomy of (DSM) load constraints. This taxonomy grows during the research process and contains at the end five constraints, a short description, examples of appliances for each constraint and a mathematical representation. This taxonomy can be used for future research, e.g. for designing, evaluating or benchmarking DSM-Methods.
