an adaptive method on the basis of graph theory to evaluate impressionability of customers by participating in demand response program

this paper concerns identifying the most impressionable group of customers for participating in demand response programs. this is an important point in energy efficiency policies.
in this paper this aim is achieved by combining data-mining and pattern recognition capabilities with energy management and electricity market concepts.
besides, graph theory and entropy concepts are utilized as influencing tools.
the proposed procedure in this paper is evaluated using a real dataset reated to irish customers electricity consumption and its effectiveness is confirmed.
