Özet

Demand side management is one of the key issues in smart electrical grid studies. Power demand of consumers can be managed via demand response(DR) programs. Task scheduling (TS) based demand response is one of the DR schemes. Objective of the TS approach is to schedule activation time of the appropriate time-shiftable loads to reduce power consumption in peak-demand hours. Heuristic optimization methods can be used to provide this objective. Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) and Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithms are two of the most recent heuristic methods. In this paper, scheduling of the time-shiftable home appliances executed by SOS and CS algorithms. Time-shiftable home appliances of the consumers and run time tolerances of them aggregated by mini public survey to achieve results which close to reality. Obtained results are indicated the superiority of the SOS algorithm and demonstrated the positive effects of the demand side management on the electrical grid.
