However, most existing pricing designs for DR programs ignore the influence of end-users\u2019s diversity and personal preference. Thus, in this paper, we investigate an incentive pricing design based on the utility maximization rule with consideration of end-users\u2019 preference and appliances\u2019 operational patterns. In particular, the utility company determines the pricing policy by trading off the budget revenue and social obligation, while each end-user aims to maximize their own utility profits with high satisfaction level by scheduling multiclass appliances. We formulate the conflict and cooperative relationship between the utility company and end-users as a Stackelberg game, and the equilibrium points are obtained by the backward induction method, which exists and is unique. At the equilibrium, the utility company adopts real-time pricing (RTP) scheme to coordinate end-users to fulfill the benefit of themselves, i.e., under such price, end-users automatically maximize overall utility profits of the overall system. We propose a distributed algorithm and an adaptive pricing scheme for the utility company and end-users to jointly achieve the best performance of the entire system. Finally, extensive simulation results based on real operation data show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2019\/8694016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,10]],"date-time":"2019-09-10T19:31:23Z","timestamp":1568143883000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A User-Oriented Pricing Design for Demand Response in Smart Grid"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2019","author":[{"given":"Yanglin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200083, China"},{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai 201210, China"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4299-2365","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Song","family":"Ci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Computer Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Omaha, NE 68182, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai 201210, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shiqian","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Company, Electric Power Research Institute, Tianjin 300041, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rser.2013.10.022"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.epsr.2008.04.002"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tetc.2014.2335541"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cirp.2014.03.117"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tpds.2014.2372781"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tsg.2014.2302245"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tsg.2012.2228241"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tsg.2010.2089069"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/jsac.2013.130710"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tsg.2016.2614546"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tsg.2010.2055903"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tpwrs.2012.2207134"},{"key":"19","first-page":"879","volume":"7","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tsg.2012.2223766"},{"volume":"1","year":"1995","key":"22"},{"year":"1994","key":"23"},{"year":"2012","key":"24"}],"container-title":["Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/wcmc\/2019\/8694016.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/wcmc\/2019\/8694016.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/wcmc\/2019\/8694016.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,10]],"date-time":"2019-09-10T19:31:24Z","timestamp":1568143884000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/wcmc\/2019\/8694016\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,10]]},"references-count":17,"alternative-id":["8694016","8694016"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2019\/8694016","relation":{},"ISSN":["1530-8669","1530-8677"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1530-8669"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1530-8677"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,10]]}}}
