Peak load periods have a great impact for energy demand in smart grid. These times is directly related to the consumption of residential sector, thus utility need to add additional generation capacity during peak time to support the demand required. This paper proposes a demand response system for residential household. Analytical Method (AM) is used to optimize the load consumption based real data of typical residential home. The consumption data are measured using smart plugs that have been designed and implemented to communicate with household’s smart devices. The simulation results show the peak load was reduced by 37.64% and the energy consumption cost bill was reduced by 29.52%. The proposed method is compared with other optimization methods such as Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to highlight the finding. The proposed approach indicated a greater saving period to produce the final results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
