Optimization algorithms for electricity load management

Abstract

The continuously-rising electricity consumption patterns worldwide and the load upsurge have imposed substantial constraints on modern and legacy power supply infrastructures. Also, optimisation algorithms are the challenging problems of determining sets of inputs to objective functions and problem parameters that result in scheduling minimum and maximum boundary conditions for each energy design constraint. The development of energy-efficient buildings minimise energy consumption through integrated energy-efficient design processes, serves as a practical guide to building designs that can lower the energy requirements, and a strategy to reduce energy consumption. Furthermore, the multivariate analysis used additive linear equations to suggest that substantial value differences exist across gender in attitude towards optimal electricity load management practices. The study also used blinds, daylighting, and geyser temperature settings to save power, and reduce electricity use, and costs for sustainable growth and development. Also, the software validation of optimal bidirectional composite conductor designs, which carry very high currents at high temperatures, vertically and horizontally in tandem, attempt to provide solutions to the composites comprising a conductor and insulating material ribbons in which the density approaches the minimum conducting area and satisfies Laplace’s equation. In addition, there were materials and cost optimisation in which the horizontal and vertical currents were equal, without hotspots, or random power transfer problems in the composite conductor matrix. Adopting the findings or outcomes of the study could provide more optimal and sustainable energy consumption thereby reducing pressure on the power grid. The contributions to the knowledge of the study include (a) Residential load management predicts and modifies electricity consumption styles and attitudes by gender, (b) The Quetelet curve index is used to modify the average citizen’s energy consumption behaviour, awareness, education, and target marketing, (c) A bidirectional light-weight composite conductor capable of simultaneously carrying very high vertical and horizontal currents, at high voltages, and large power-carrying capabilities were designed, and (d) The conductor-composite was proven to occupy about two-thirds of the unit square area. However, the areas for future research include the design, manufacture, and machinability of stable high-capacity composite conductors and insulators (organic or inorganic) that can withstand very high temperatures, higher voltage stresses, and much larger power-carrying capabilities.
