The environmental concerns around energy, namely electricity, have driven attention to innovative approaches to fostering consumers participation in the whole energy system management. Accordingly, the concept of demand response provides incentives and signals no consumers to change the normal consumption patterns to increase the use of renewables, for example. The problem is that such response of consumers has a large amount of uncertainty. This paper proposes a methodology in which different demand response programs are activated and deactivated during an event to cover the demand response deviations from the target. Even after achieving the response target, if the actual response of consumers is reduced to a critical level, additional programs are activated. The proposed approach considers consumers participating in an aggregate way, supported by an aggregator. The case study in this paper accommodates three demand response programs, showing how different consumers are activated and remunerated for the provision of consumption reduction. It has been seen that the proposed methodology is flexible as desired to accommodate the uncertainty of consumers’ responses.
