Efficient Scheduling of Smart Home Appliances for Energy Management by Cost and PAR Optimization Algorithm in Smart Grid.

As the energy demand for consumption is comparably higher than the generation of energy, which produce the shortage of energy. Many new schemes are being developed to fulfill the energy consumer demand. In this paper, we proposed our meta-heuristic algorithm Runner Updation Optimization Algorithm (RUOA) to schedule the consumption pattern of residential appliances. We compared the results of our scheme with other meta-heuristic algorithm Strawberry Algorithm (SBA) and Firefly Algorithm (FA). Critical Peak Price (CPP) and Real Time Price (RTP) are the two electricity pricing scheme that we used in this paper for calculation of electricity cost. The main objective of this paper is to minimize the electricity cost and Peak to Average Ratio (PAR). However, consumer comfort is not satisfied.
