The use of robust optimization techniques for scheduling consumption in a demand response context is analyzed in this paper, with aid of results from a particular case study, in which energy prices of different time periods are highly correlated. Results indicate that it is of great importance to employ a solution approach that correctly models the correlation among prices of different periods over which consumption is to be scheduled. One such approach is proposed and investigated in this paper, with positive results.
