Abstract
Demand Side Management (DSM) is the strategy applied in smart grid domain for Home Energy Management (HEM) and balancing of electricity demand and supply. Numerous optimization techniques have been proposed by research community for HEM. In this study, we have implemented Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) technique to achieve four objectives: cost, PAR and waiting time minimization with user comfort maximization. EHO has been implemented with three different Operation Time Intervals (OTIs) i.e., 05, 30 and 60 minutes. Simulation results showed that EHO performed much better than un-schedule case and EHO efficiency for shorter OTI is also better than longer OTIs.
