A Model Algorithm for Smart Power Supply and Distribution in Residential Building

Abstract

Composition of algorithms in view of providing residential customers with a smart means of optimal power source and distribution management is considered in this paper. By data survey and statistical algorithm, load profiles of conventional apartments in a Nigerian setting are modelled. Thereafter, an algorithm for optimal selection of a source, out of three specified for a residential apartment, is composed and presented. The selection is based on availability and quality criteria. Furthermore, a counterpart algorithm for optimal distribution of available power using source capacity and loading restriction criteria is developed. The algorithms are implemented and evaluated in MATLAB for critical scenarios. The simulations demonstrated the effectiveness of the algorithms, if deployed.
