A Comprehensive Review on Residential Demand Side Management Strategies in Smart Grid Environment

The ever increasing demand for electricity and the rapid increase in number of automatic electrical appliances have posed a critical energy management challenge both utilities consumers. Substantial work has been reported on Home Energy Management System (HEMS) but to best our knowledge, there is no single review highlighting all recent past developments Demand Side (DSM) HEMS altogether. purpose each study raise user comfort, load scheduling, minimization, or economic dispatch problem. Researchers proposed different soft computing optimization techniques address challenge, still it seems be pressing issue. This paper presents comprehensive research DSM strategies identify challenging perspectives future study. We described strategies, their deployment communication technologies. application such as Fuzzy Logic (FL), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Evolutionary Computation (EC) discussed deal with consumption minimization scheduling problems. Different optimization-based approaches are also reviewed. reviewed practical aspects implementation smart management.
