An Effective Demand Side Management in Smart Grid Using Cloud Computing

In the present decade, power grids plays a vital role to deliver the growing demand for power, as well as to provide a stable and sustainable supply of electricity to consumers. These complex challenges are driving the evolution of smart grid technology. To handle smart grid dynamically, Active Demand Side Management Scheduling (ADSMS) algorithm is proposed for resolving the electricity demand over online using Cloud Technology. The entire place is divided into grid of geographical area and each geographical grid’s power requirements are scheduled and managed over smart grid. Demand response which decreases the power consumption from off peak hours to on peak hours depending on consumers’ preferences and lifestyles. From the consumer consumption details, the ADSMS manage and provides suggestion of requirement of power over for smart grid geographical area. The web application which is built within the cloud to schedules the power into three cases. According to the scheduling, the consumer will get the power via smart grid. A smart meter which is built within the smart grid is to record the power consumption and it sends the data to the utilities for the billing purpose.
