Abstract
The rapid growth of smart grid systems demands efficient management of smart grid services. Smart grids are expected to enable the delivery and management of electricity in a more reliable, efficient, economical, and secured manner. Thus, the development of effective power management solutions for smart grids to meet these challenges is an important area of research in recent times. In this article, we propose using learning automata (LA), a computational learning utility, for efficient power management in smart grids (LAPM). The proposed system, LAPM, helps in identifying the electricity required for various distribution substations and controls the usage of power by various devices (i.e., preventing unauthorized use of power). The use of LA enables performing a dynamic analysis of power usage and providing decision making for its effective usage. The system is evaluated on a real-life-resembling environment, with respect to parameters such as power utilization and customer satisfaction.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Communications Magazine, considered by most to be their most important member benefit, provides timely information on all aspects of communications: monthly feature articles describe technology, systems, services, market trends, development methods, regulatory and policy issues, and significant global events. These articles are complemented by a variety of departments, including: Conference Calendar, Book Reviews, the Global Communications Newsletter, Scanning the Literature, New products and Product Spotlights, Society News, Your Internet Connection, News from JSAC, and the CommuniCrostic puzzle. Articles are tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations are generally not used (in justified cases up to three simple equations may be allowed with the consent of the Guest Editor. The inclusion of more than three equations requires permission from the Editor-in-Chief).
