AN OPTIMAL POWER SCHEDULING A SMART HOME USING GREY WOLF OPTIMIZER (GWO)

In this paper, GWO is adapted for Power Schedul- ing Problem (PSP). PSP is addressed by schedul- ing home appliances to a certain time horizon to minimize the electricity bill and peak-to-average ratio (PAR) and increase the comfort level of users. The simulation results shows the GWO ef- ficiency in obtaining optimal schedule by com- pare its results with genetic algorithm (GA) re- sults, where GWO exhibits and yield better per- formance than GA using the same scenario
