Foged energy optimization in smart homes

Abstract

In this paper, Smart Grid (SG) efficiency is improved by introducing Cloud-based environment. To access the services and hostage of cloud large number of requests are entertained from Smart Homes (SHs). These SHs exists in clusters of smart buildings. When the number of requests increase, delay, latency and response time also increase. To overcome these issues, Fog is introduced, which act as an intermediate layer between the cloud and consumer. Five Micro Grids (MGs) are attached to each cluster of the smart building to manage its requests. By using Fog base environment, the delay and latency decreases. The response time also increases with less processing time. To handle the load on cloud different load balancing algorithms and service broker policies exist. In order to manage the load, Honey Bee (HB) is implemented. HB is compared with existing algorithm Round Robin (RR). It gives better results than RR.
