Abstract
In this paper, two meta-heuristic techniques Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO) and Enhanced Differential Evolution (EDE) are used for demand side management. We have integrated Traditional Grids with Demand Side Management (DSM) We have categorized appliances in two categories; fixed and shiftable/elastic appliances. Real Time Pricing (RTP) is used for calculation of electricity cost. The objective of our work is to minimize electricity bill, increase user comfort, and reduced peak to average ratio. As the simulation results show that CSO gives better results as we compared with EDE in terms of electricity cost and waiting time.
