Abstract
One of the most interesting challenges in the modern
grids is the consumer demand management and optimization.
However, the Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs) can offer promising solutions for this challenge. In this
paper, we introduce a distributed multi-level solution for the
energy consumption optimization. The proposed solution offers
an automated demand control mechanism, using a Wireless
Sensor Actuator Network (WSAN), to reduce the energy consumption
of each consumer. Moreover, we propose a scheduling
scheme that minimizes the total cost of a building energy
demand based on a cooperative game model to achieve the
collective goal. We introduce also a mechanism that improves the
consumer satisfaction when the available energy is insufficient.
The performance evaluation shows that the proposed approach
reduces the energy demand, the total consumption cost, and the
peak to average ratio.
