Demand side Management for SMART Grid

Abstract

In this paper, we are going to suggest a prominent feature of smart Grid i.e. Demand side management. Smart grid is up to date facility used for bi-communication system of Generation, transmission and consumption. The fundamental principle of smart grid is demand response analysis. For supposition, we focus on three type of frequently used load which are base, continuous and discrete load. A sufficient volume of load in the form of diversified appliance of different power rating would be considered. Our main objective is the reduction of peak to average ratio enhances the efficiency of smart grid. For this, a revived scheme of electricity consumption pattern is required keeping in consideration reliability, feasibility and user preference. Subsequently, it will decrease the electricity production and consumption cost. Increasing the number of appliances would complicate the problem to some extent so making it more challenging. In theoretical work small numbers of appliances are taken. Genetic algorithm would be used to solve this specific problem. Simulation results would show the prove that there is an ultimate reduction in the cost by using the algorithm.
