The effects of climate change are becoming more and more evident and a fossil-fuel based economy is no longer sustainable. Thus, it is important to abandon traditional power plants in favor of renewable energy sources, trying to change the demand in such way that it follows the available supply. The presence of renewable energy sources that depend on the weather creates uncertainty and can cause large energy imbalances. Moreover, different consumers' behavior, usually uncontrollable, are not easy to be managed and require energy management strategies. Among these demand management mechanisms, it is possible to find the demand-side management (DSM) and the demand-response (DR).
