Abstract EN
With the recent advances in smart grid technologies as well as the increasing dissemination of smart meters, the electricity usage of every moment can be detected in modern smart building environments.
Thus, the utility company adopts different price of electricity at each time slot considering the peak time.
This paper presents a new electricity usage scheduling algorithm for smart buildings that adopts real-time pricing of electricity.
The proposed algorithm detects the change of electricity prices by making use of a smart device and changes the power mode of each electric device dynamically.
Specifically, we formulate the electricity usage scheduling problem as a real-time task scheduling problem and show that it is a complex search problem that has an exponential time complexity.
An efficient heuristic based on genetic algorithms is performed on a smart device to cut down the huge searching space and find a reasonable schedule within a feasible time budget.
Experimental results with various building conditions show that the proposed algorithm reduces the electricity charge of a smart building by 25.6% on average and up to 33.4%.
