Abstract:This paper proposes a hybrid optimization to solve the scheduling of household power consumption for Step and Time-of-Use (TOU) tariff system.The target function is the cost of electricity,and the optimization object is total instantaneous power within a billing period.The control variables are starting moments of each household appliance.The optimization procedure is divided into two stages.Firstly,the prerequisite for minimal cost is calculated through mathematical analysis and generalized function theory.Secondly,the solution is obtained by using a heuristic algorithm in which the result of the first stage is considered to reduce the searching space.And an evaluation methodology is deduced to evaluate the optimization.The computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed approach can reduce the cost of electricity evidently in the sense of probability.The approach shows great value for embedded applications.
