Managing the demand in a Micro Grid Based on Load shifting with Controllable Devices Using Hybrid WFS2ACSO Technique

The Demand Side Management (DSM) introduced in Smart Grid (SG), which depends on load shifting with huge number of devices is presented in this work. The proposed hybrid strategy is the joint implementation of Wingsuit Flying Search (WFSA) algorithm and Artificial Cell Swarm Optimization (ACSO). The searching behavior of WFSA is enhanced by ACSO. Hence, it is named as WFS2ACSO. This technique aims at minimization of electricity bill, power consumption, and Peak Average Ratio (PAR). The daily load change method presented in this manuscript is utilized for defusing the minimization issues. The present method is performed in SG that constitutes three different types of loads on a residential area, a commercial area, and an industrial area. Simulation results demonstrate that the projected DSM methodology achieves considerable savings, as peak load demand of SG decreases. Further, the variation in PAR levels with and without the DSM methodology is also presented. The proposed model is executed on a MATLAB simulation platform with two case studies based on optimization methods like WFSA, WFS2ACSO). The results obtained present the hybridized algorithm effectiveness as compared with other trendsetting optimization techniques like Ant lion optimization (ALO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).publishedVersio
