Title: Optimized Household Demand Management with Local Solar PV Generation,
Abstract: Demand Side Management (DSM) strategies are of-ten associated with the
objectives of smoothing the load curve and reducing peak load. Although the
future of demand side manage-ment is technically dependent on remote and
automatic control of residential loads, the end-users play a significant role
by shifting the use of appliances to the off-peak hours when they are exposed
to Day-ahead market price. This paper proposes an optimum so-lution to the
problem of scheduling of household demand side management in the presence of PV
generation under a set of tech-nical constraints such as dynamic electricity
pricing and voltage deviation. The proposed solution is implemented based on
the Clonal Selection Algorithm (CSA). This solution is evaluated through a set
of scenarios and simulation results show that the proposed approach results in
the reduction of electricity bills and the import of energy from the grid.
