Abstract
Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) has a wide impact on many potential applications. The impact of IoT on performing demand-side management (DSM) in an Indian educational institution has not been researched in depth before. In this research work, an IoT-enabled SDSMS (Smart DSM System) has been deployed with the main objective of minimizing electricity tariff and also to tweak the quality of user comfort. It can be feasible by prioritizing available renewable PV solar energy during peak hours in an Indian educational institution. DSM has been performed using day-ahead load shifting and rescheduling the different classes of institutional loads by applying hybrid BPSOGSA (Binary Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm). The BPSOGSA performance on DSM has been evaluated based on electricity tariff, peak demand range, and PAR and compared with the outcomes of both binary conventional algorithms BPSO and BGSA, respectively. The proposed method enhances the degree of user comfort (DUC) by tripping the operation of non-critical institutional loads. Simulation results obtained using MATLAB corroborate that BPSOGSA outperforms both BPSO and BGSA under both DSM scenarios. Before DSM, Peak demand, PAR, and Electricity tariffs were found to be 1855.47 kW, 4.1286, and $2030.67 while after DSM, they reduced to 1502.24 kW, 3.263, and $1314.40 respectively. This indicates a 35.273% reduction in electricity tariff, a 19.037% scale down in peak demand, and a 20.97% reduction in PAR. Finally, the real-time IoT-based SDSMS hardware is implemented at the Renewable energy laboratory for real monitoring of energy consumption via the Blynk application.
