Abstract
In recent years, the smart grid technique for maximizing the energy efficiency of power networks has received a great deal of attentions. In particular, the Demand Response is a core technology differentiated from the present power network under the smart grid paradigm. To minimize the electric cost and maximize users' satisfaction, this paper proposes a unique scheduling algorithm derived by using optimization where the characteristics of various home appliances are taken into account. For this goal, we represent mathematical consumption patterns of the electric loads and propose the optimal scheduling scheme based on the importance factor of each device during one day. In the simulation results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in the viewpoint of the minimal electric costs utilizing real statistical figures.
