Abstract

This paper presents a smart grid model that fully considers the power consumption types of users and the features of electricity price. A satisfaction function is added into the bill function to balance the user experience of electricity usage and the consumption of load. For the purpose of minimizing the electricity bill of all users, a single-layer projection neural network (PNN) is used, which is proven to be global convergence. And the simulation results reveal that the effectiveness and peculiarities of the proposed PNN.
