 One of the vital task while proposing smart grid infrastructure is
system model designing.
 Classify all smart appliances.
 Classification is based on following
factors:
 Usage modification.
 Time sensitive.
 Power rating.
 Length of operation

Genetic algorithm (GA)
 Genetic algorithms are a randomized heuristic search strategy*.
 Basic idea:
 Simulate natural selection, where the population is composed of candidate
solutions.
 Focus:
 Evolving a population from which strong and diverse candidates can
emerge via
 Mutation
 Crossover.

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)
 Combines self-experiences with social experiences*
 Basic idea:
 Number of particles
 Searching for the optimum
 Moving and has a velocity.
 Particle remembers the position
it was in where it had its
best result so far (its personal best)
 The particles in the swarm co-operate.
 They exchange information about what
they’ve discovered in the places they
have visited
 Binary PSO is one of the most important algorithm
 used in optimization problems in Smart grid.
