Description
Summary:The future of the industry foresees the automation and allocation of more intelligence to processes. A revolution in relation to the present. With this, new challenges and consequently more complexity is added to the management of the sectors. In the electric sector is introduced the theme of the Smart grids and so all the concepts aggregated with it. The possibility of the existence of demand response programs and the expansion of the distributed generation units for small players are key concepts and with enormous influence in the management of the markets belonging to this sector. Thus, a method is proposed that would help manage these resources through their aggregation, opening a new port for business models based on this idea. The benefit will be to take advantage of a more effective and efficient way the energy potential present in each group that is formed. Thus, in this paper will be explored the potential of clustering methods for the aggregation of resources.
