A Demand Side Management Control Strategy Using RUNge Kutta Optimizer (RUN)

Demand side management initiatives have gained attention recently because of the development of the smart grid and consumer-focused regulations. The demand side management programme has numerous goals. One of the main goals is to control energy demand by altering customer demand. This can be done in several ways, including financial discounts and behaviour changes brought about by providing knowledge to support the grid's stressed conditions. In this study, demand side management techniques for future smart grids are presented, including load shifting and strategic conservation. There are many controlled devices on the grid. The load shifting and day before strategic conservation approaches mentioned in this study are derived analytically for the minimization problem. For resolving this minimization issue, the RUNge Kutta optimizer (RUN) was developed. On a test smart grid with two service zones, one with residential consumers and the other with commercial consumers, simulations are performed. By contrasting the outcomes with the slime mould algorithm (SMA), Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), moth-flame optimization (MFO), and whale optimization algorithm (WOA), RUN demonstrates its effectiveness. The simulation findings demonstrate that the suggested demand side management solutions produce significant cost savings while lowering the smart grid's peak load demand.
