Abstract - Nowadays the population is increasing day by
day, so that the demand for energy becomes high which in turn
increases the demand for coal. This rapid increase in demand
of electricity becomes uneconomical, detrimental and high in
power losses. Also the conventional grid is unable to adjust to
the growing energy demands and locating grid failures. Hence
there is the need for other energy resources like renewable
sources and this integration may cause unbalanced power
flow to the grid which needs an energy management system.
This proposed work aims at maximizing the use of local
generation, minimizing the consumption price and reducing
the emission of greenhouse gases. This efficient energy
management system is achieved with the help of two
controllers: Energy Market Management Controller (EMMC)
and Home Energy Management Controller (HEMC). HEMC
shares the information about load and energy storage systems
to EMMC which will contain all details about the energy
providers, local generation and its price details. The problems
in smart grid can be solved using the strategies that were
followed in demand response. Among various optimization
methods, Multi Objective Grey Wolf Optimization (MOGWO) is
preferred due to its fast converging capability compared to
other optimization techniques. The simulation result shows the
reduction in pollution and consumption price in this work.
Key Words: Microgrid, smart grid, energy market
management controller, home energy management
controller, multi objective grey wolf optimization,
energy providers, renewable energy resources.
1. INTRODUCTION
Energy plays a crucial part in a country's growth of its
social and economic position. Because it has a direct impact
on the economy and is linked to raising the country's living
standards. As the world's population grows, more energy is
required to meet the growing demand for energy. As a result
of these energy constraints in emerging countries, smart
energy management (SEM) can help to alleviate both
technical and economic issues.
SEM is concerned with integrating local generation, such
as photovoltaic (PV), wind, and fuel cells, as well as effective
energy trading between energy providers and customers. By
combining both generation and consumption, researchers
are attempting to design improved structures for optimal
energy and market management.
Consumer-based energy management to increase profit
for consumers by employing a stochastic game strategy that
combines prosumer decision and the stochastic nature of
renewable energy is proposed in [1]. [2] provides task
classification-based home energy management, which
identifies the best activation task within device restrictions.
The ideal activation time for each type of work is
determined using a quadratic utility function. [3] proposes a
decision-making controller that optimizes generation, load,
and storage. To make decisions more intelligent, intelligent
fuzzy logic is offered. In [4,] the integration of a storage
system is proposed in order to achieve high energy
independence in an SMG that is based on home load control.
[5] investigates data-driven home energy management
(HEM), which is optimized using a Bayesian algorithm and
includes renewable energy resources (RER) and an energy
storage system. Within micro-grid (MG) and multi-MG
environments, the energy market management system in [6]
executes day-ahead optimization of distribution network
addressing (MMG).
The goals are to reduce costs by using two operators in a
dynamic games function. Researchers in [7] developed a
power loss-based energy transaction inside the MG and
MMG paradigms to minimize power loss. The Multi Energy
Router System is used to achieve this strategy (MERS). [8]
proposes a market mechanism for average pricing that is
utilized in distribution networks. The goal is to decentralize
the formulation of the average price market mechanism in
order to spread the cost production of energy resources with
a zero margin.
Using Mixed Integral Linear Programming, [10]
proposes a multi-objective optimization to handle the energy
management-based social and ecological problem for
microgrid (MILP). Approach for maximum utilization of
renewable distribution is proposed in [11], and the same
concept is addressed in [12] to reduce energy loss in order to
recognize the economic benefits. [13] presents a quick
overview of various control strategies.
In addition, the authors recommended intelligent and
IoT-based control solutions for future clustered microgrids.
According to a survey of related literature, researchers have
solved technological challenges for SMG, such as user
