Table 4 Scenario Description

Basic scenario details

Homes: (1) working couple, 3 children; (2) working woman, 2 children; (3) multigenerational family (working couple, 2 children, 2 seniors); (4) working woman under age 30; (5) working man under age 30; (6) working under age 30; (7) couple with 2 children, man at work.

Appliances: washing machine (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); dryer (1, 7); dishwasher (1, 2, 3, 7).

Cost function: We assume that we have a TOUP from the supplier.

Infrastructure: No generation or storage data were added.

Additional Information: No appliances may run between 24:00 and 07:00; an EV is added to each household and regarded as a deferrable load; the residents leave at 07:00 and return at 18:00, so the EV cannot be charged between these times.
