PhD defence: Ieva Linkeviciute

Electricity demand-side management is seen as one of the ways to deal with the power system stability problems caused by the increased share of variable wind and solar power production and, therefore, is widely discussed among practitioners, academics and policy makers. This PhD thesis focuses on electricity demand-side management and a new type of player in the electricity markets - an aggregator of flexible demand. The thesis contributes to the demand-side management research by providing an analysis of the flexible demand aggregator's effects on the electricity markets and the welfare of power consumers. The three chapters examine the entrance of the aggregator in the power markets from the perspective of the aggregator, large power consumers and producers.
