Swarm Logic Approach to Reduce Electricity Cost

摘要

Equipments such as air-conditioning and heating systems consume a lot of power. When used simultaneously, they increase peak demand and subsequently lead to high-peak demand prices. Demand response, a method of managing consumer consumption by reducing peak demand for electricity, has been gaining a lot of attention from the consumer's end. Technologies have been developed to address the issue of reducing peak power demand mainly through the use of automated systems to reduce loads at periods of peak demand.
