Abstract
• Increasing demand of consumers have affected the power system badly as
power generation system faces a number of challenges both in quality and
quantity.
• An overview of home appliances scheduling techniques has been discussed
to implement Demand Side Management (DSM) in smart grid.
• Optimal energy consumption scheduling minimizes the energy
consumption cost.
• Reduces the Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) as well as peak load demand to
shape the peak load curve.

Introduction (1/2)
• A system that implements communication and information technology in
electrical grid is known as smart grid.
• Smart grid improves the customers' load utilization by deploying the
communication based monitoring and controlling architectures.
• With the addition of different types of new loads e.g. Plug-in Hybrid
Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), the normal residential load has potentially
increased.
• Need to develop new methods for peak load reduction.
• Oil and coal fired power plants are used to meet the peak demands, as a
result a huge amount of CO2 and green house gases is emitted.

Introduction (2/2)
• Smart grid enables DSM to overcome these problems.
• DSM was proposed in the late 1970s.
• DSM programs are implemented to exploit better utilization of current
available generating power capacity without installing new power
generation infrastructure.
• DSM controls the residential loads by shifting the load from peak hours to
off-peak hours in order to reduce the peak load curve.

Related work
• Caron, Stphane, and George Kesidis proposed an incentive based energy
consumption controlling scheme for Direct Load Contol (DLC).
• Costanzo, Giuseppe T., Jan Kheir, and Guchuan Zhu discussed an energy
consumption scheduling technique to shape the peak load curve.
• Rossello Busquet, Ana, et al. elaborated a priority based scheduling scheme
for household appliances to control the load.

Different Scheduling Schemes for DSM
•
Efficiency of power consumption is an important factor.
•
Due to limited energy assets and expensive process of integrating new energy
resources, there is an important need to improve our system power utilization.
•
Utility companies need to reduce the peak load demand to achieve high
reliability in electric grid.
•
Smart grid applies DSM programs to control the peak load demand and energy
consumption cost.
•
Different energy consumption controlling techniques to minimize the peak load
and monetary cost are discussed in the following slides.

An Autonomous Three Layered
Structure Model for DSM (2/3)
• Present architecture controls the appliances using online scheduling
approach in the run-time manner.
• Main three modules for Admission control (AC), load balancer (LB) and
demand response manager (DRM) to control peak load demand.
• AC module schedules the appliances by using spring algorithm.
• AC accepts the requests based on priority, power request, available capacity
and rejects the rest.
• LB schedules the rejected requests and performs an optimal scheduling.
8
An Autonomous Three Layered
Structure Model for DSM (3/3)
• LB triggered by events such as request rejection, changes on available
capacity, energy price.
• LB minimizes the cost function analogous to energy price.
• AC and LB schedule the appliances on run time with respect to limited
capacity constraints and overall peak load and energy consumption cost is
minimized.
• DRM represent an interface b/w DSM system and smart grid.
• Load forecaster provide information of load forecast to DRM and LB.

Backtracking-based technique for load
control (2/3)
• Schedule home appliances to reduce the peak load and monetary cost.
• Backtracking algorithm is used for scheduling the home appliances
(tasks).
• Task Ti can be modeled with Fi , Ai , Di , Ui.
•
Ti is non-preemptive, Start time of appliance between Ai to (Di - Ui).
•
Ti is preemptive, ((Di - Ai)C Ui) vectors are used to map the profile
entry.
• Backtracking frame a search tree on the allocation table.
11
Backtracking-based technique for load
control (3/3)
• Scheduler copies the profile entry of different appliances one by one
according to task profile to the allocation table.
• Potential search tree consists of all feasible solutions including worthless
solutions.
• At each intervening node, which passes to a feasible solution, it checks
either the node can guide to a feasible solution if not remaining search tree
is pruned.
• Scheduler search the feasible time slots for the appliances schedule.
• Appliances (tasks) to be scheduled are less than 10 and this model reduces
peak load up to 23.1%.

Game-Theoretic based DSM (2/3)
• Energy Consumption Scheduler (ECS) is deployed in smart meters for
scheduling the household appliances.
• Convex optimization based technique.
• Proposes an energy consumption scheduling game to reduce the Peak to
Average ratio (PAR) and energy consumption cost.
• Users are players and their daily schedule of using appliances are strategies.
• Energy cost minimization is achieved at Nash equilibrium of energy
scheduling game.
14
Game-Theoretic based DSM (3/3)
• Two types of appliances are considered in this scheme; shiftable and nonshiftable appliances.
• Scheduler manages and shifts the appliances energy consumption for
appropriate scheduling.
• Feasible energy consumption scheduling set for the appliances of user ‘n’ is
acquired as follows:
• Present technique reduces PAR up to 18\% and energy cost reduces to 17%.

consumption of each subscriber home.

appliances energy consumption in the whole day.
• Present scheme reduces the cost up to 37%.

An Optimal and autonomous
residential load control scheme (2/3)
• An optimal energy consumption scheduling scheme minimizes the PAR
and reduces the waiting time of each appliance operation in household.
• Residential load controller predict the prices in real time.
• Real-time pricing and inclining block rates are combined to balance the
load and minimize peak-to-average ratio.

An Optimal and autonomous
residential load control scheme (3/3)
• Price predictor and energy scheduler are two main units to control
the residential load.
• Price predictor estimates the upcoming prices and allows scheduler
to schedule the appliances according to user's need.
• Load demand high in smart grid, Grid send request to smart meters
to reduce the load.
•
In this case, scheduler increases upcoming prices of next 2 or 3
hours by optimization technique.
• Automatically suspends some portion of load and the total load
reduces.
