Energy management in residential area using genetic and strawberry algorithm

Abstract

In our work, we consider the problem of load management in residential area. We adopt Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Strawberry Algorithm (SBA) for load scheduling. These algorithms are used to manage residential load between shoulder, on-peak and off-peak hours. Time of Use (ToU) pricing scheme has been used for bill calculation. Simulation results show that GA based energy optimization controller perform good than SBA based energy optimization controller in term of Peak to Average Ratio (PAR), electricity bill reduction and waiting time.
