his thesis deals with energy optimization in residential facilities, adopting the development of the paradigms of the “SmartΝύ
rid” and the Ν“Internet of Things”. Given the existence of the
appropriate technological equipment, comparison of two optimization algorithms is carried out, towards reducing energy consumption for the benefit of the user. Specifically, a brief description of the development of the “Internet of Things”
and “Smart Grid” is initially provided, as well as a presentation of the challenges arising. Exemplified studies are presented as part of the energy consumption optimization scenario
in a modern Smart Grid-Internet of Things environment.
Thereafter, this work focuses on the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm - PSO. Following the mathematical analysis of the algorithm, a study, which has been made on the subject of
energy consumption optimization, is given briefly. A similar simulation in MATLAB environment based on a virtual scenario of a smart green home is analyzed and various parameters are examined or assessment of the algorithm’s efficiency, a demanding conditions’layout is studied Therefore, a large scale scenario, where the algorithm is tested in a bigger virtual facility with randomized parameters, is analyzed. Following suit, a similar analysis on an approach based on the theory of Markov Random Fields and the Gibbs sampler is presented. The analysis is also followed by a simulation developed in a MATLAB environment. In the corresponding chapter, a large scale scenario is also examined, similar to the one described in the previous one. Finally, a comparison of algorithms is presented in both small and large scale demonstrations, followed by recommendations and conclusions. |
