Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Electrical Engineering.
Demand-Side Management (DSM) can be defined as the implementation of policies and measures to control, regulate, and reduce energy consumption. This document introduces home energy management through dynamic distributed resource management and optimized operation of household appliances in a DSM based simulation platform. The principal purpose of the simulation platform is to illustrate customer-driven DSM operation, and evaluate an estimate for home electricity consumption while minimizing the customer's cost. A heuristic optimization algorithm i.e. Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) is used for the optimization of DSM operation in the platform. The platform also simulates the operation of household appliances as a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES). The resource management technique is implemented using an optimization algorithm, i.e. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which determines the distribution of energy obtained from various sources depending on the load. The validity of the platform is illustrated through an example case study for various household scenarios.
