Demand response of smart homes using state flow algorithm

Abstract

Nowadays power demand is increased by consumers. Usually peak demand is present in different seasons. During peak demand frequency drop and voltage dip are occurred. Due to these problems power system may block out and system reliability decreases. Generation demand and load demand should be maintained equally. Generation demand should be increased to maintain equal load demand and generation demand. Generation demand is increased by increasing generating plants. But generating plants cost is very high compared to DSM.Demand side management is the quickest response to reduce peak loads. So the peak demand can be reduced by load management.. Demand side management is facilitated to load management by state flow algorithm. State flow algorithm is made by conditions of system voltage and frequency and peak time or off peak time. By using Demand side management, consumers and energy providers get more benefits. DSM used to reduce expensive imports of fuel, energy prices and harmful emissions to the environment pollution are reduced. Simulation is done in MATLAB SIMULINK.
