Research on optimal scheduling strategy for household loads considering rooftop photovoltaic

As the renewable energy has been widely applied in household electricity, an optimal scheduling strategy for household loads considering rooftop photovoltaic (PV) has been proposed. In this paper, different kinds of flexible loads as well as household customer satisfaction have been modelled after analysing the different characteristics of household loads. In meeting the optimal target of economy, which takes Time-of-Use (TOU) price and feed-in tariff of extra PV generation into account, this strategy optimizes the load control for the purpose of making user comfort the highest. A numerical example demonstrates that the optimization of household loads can reduce the power cost and improve the ability of local consumption of distributed PV.
