Optimal energy consumption is one of the sustainable development issues in many countries to improve
the economic and environmental indices in the energy sector. This paper presents a tri-objective opti-
mal performance of a smart hybrid energy system (SHES) in the presence of customer’s participation to
optimally reshape the demand profile in the day-ahead energy market. Minimizing the operation costs
and the emission pollution as well as maximizing the customer satisfaction level are considered as the
objectives of this problem. The three types of demand response (DR) programs consisting of 1) demand
curtailment, 2) demand shifting and 3) onsite generation program are considered for optimal scheduling
of the electrical and the thermal energy consumption by the customers. The demand curtailment program
is considered as the reserve for SHES and the Plug Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are taken into account as the
onsite generation program. The uncertainties of energy and reserve prices are modeled using lognormal
distribution function. The shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) is employed to solve the problem from
which the non-dominated solutions are generated. Then, the best solution of the non-dominated solu-
tions is selected by the hybrid approach of fuzzy method and the weight sum. To validate the mentioned
approach, five case studies are investigated and the results demonstrate optimal scheduling of SHES with
acceptable levels of operation costs, emission pollution and customer satisfaction.

1. Introduction
1.1. Motivation
Concerns about the growing energy consumption in the world
and its impacts on the economic and environmental indices are in-
creasing. Hence, the optimal energy scheduling of energy systems
is a suitable method to supply demand regarding its advantages
for the generation and the demand sides [1]. Smart grids (SGs), as
modern information technology, in the energy sector can facilitate
the energy supply in more impressive processes and it can react to
extensive events using real-time information [2]. The bidirectional
communication link between the generation-side and the demand-
side in the SG provides the participation of demand-side in the op-
timal energy problem in the operation time [2,3]. The demand-side
scheduling in the SG, which has important impacts on the system’s
energy balance, is known as the Demand Response (DR) programs
[3].

The DR has several programs which can change the energy
consumption to achieve the optimum demand profile. Actually,
DR programs can meet the increasing demand as the generation
sources, and they have important role in the demand-side to sup-
pling the energy balance in the energy markets. The DR programs
are able to transform the customer’s energy consumption based
on the energy market price signals and incentives [4,5]. In the
incentive-based programs, the customers participate in the mar-
ket to reduce their energy consumptions regarding the contingency
conditions. These programs include capacity/ancillary services, de-
mand bidding, emergency program, interruptible program, and di-
rect load control (DLC). The price-based programs are implemented
to encourage the customers to manage their demand profile by
defining the different tariffs regarding the diverse energy prices.
These programs are time-of-use (TOU), real time pricing (RTP), and
critical peak pricing (CPP) [6]. More details of DR programs are ex-
plained in [6]. The DR programs can be employed in all timescales
of the energy management problems as shown in Fig. 1. [7]. The
DR programs are not only used to manage the energy consump-
tion by shifting and curtailing the loads, but also for supplying the
demand of the customers with their energy resources. This supply
can be considered as a DR program. Therefore, there are three so-
