Abstract Mathematical Formulation & Results

Energy is the soul of every new inventions on this Bio-sphere. The upturn in this
advancement and technological growth, the energy resources are getting scarce. As the
energy resources are limited and can not be increased in the same proportion as with To check the validity and productivity of our suggested algorithm, different results are
the exponential rising demand, that is why, we have to manage our energy consumption concluded through various simulations. The main aim of all these simulations is to show
smartly. An optimal integration of the Renewable energy sources (RESs) for this purpose proper and reasonable scheduling on an industrial level to achieve our goal. The main
is the need of the day. This paper proposes a bio-inspired algorithm, namely, the Lion’s equation for our results Simulation is:

efficiently and optimally to save energy. Although various processes and means have
been developed by researchers in the electrical field but one such mechanism is its
optimization. Increasing power production or building new power stations is a costly and
time-consuming process to be bearable for developing economies.
EMC works in coordination with Automatically Operated Appliances (AOAs) and an
advanced communication and distribution system. SM gets reading information from
EMC and schedules the appliances based on that data [1]. Demand-Side Management
(DSM) deals with consumer load. It has two functions mainly load management and
Demand Response DR [2]. In [3], the main grid is connected with the micro grid to
decrease electricity PAR and cost using the optimization techniques viz GWO, BPSO,
GA, and WDO. To get better results, they have used hybrid versions of different
algorithms. The function of the DMS program is to provide support to power in different Figure 1. Day ahead pricing signal Figure 2. Electricity cost
areas, such as infrastructure maintenance, control of electricity, and providing the best
way to manage energy resources [4]. In [5], the researcher divides the appliances into
two categories, one is power flexible and the second one is time flexible to acquire
minimum electricity cost and decrease the waiting time. The authors used a hybrid
version of the CSA algorithm and EWA algorithm. By using the method of appliances re-
scheduling if an interruption occurs during scheduling. Based on their calculations, they
reduced the cost up to 50.6% by RTP signaling [6].
