Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the present scenario, in order to meet the growing electricity demand, demand side management (DSM) is one among the various approaches used in smart grid. By applying DSM at the customer side, various benefits such as reduction in electricity cost, reduction in peak demand, and improvement in load factor can be achieved. This paper proposes a new architecture, namely, Intelligent Universal Load Management System (IULMS) to implement DSM based on load shifting approach for a residential building in the presence of different classes of loads. In this work, the objective is to minimize the cost of electricity consumption and there are several constraints imposed by the device types operating in the system and it is solved by Binary Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm. The objective function is non-linear in nature because the price of electricity varies each hour. A real-time system involving residential building users of Agrini Apartment in Madurai, Tamilnadu, India is discussed. Further, the potential of DSM is analyzed. The minimization of electricity consumption cost, peak demand, and Peak to Average Ratio (PAR) are validated for each test case. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: UF0001
