Meta-ERM: Metaheuristic Optimization Platform for Energy Resource Management in the Smart Grid

Abstract

The energy resource management problem is regarded with great importance in the energy domain due to the current transformation of the electrical grid as a result of the growth of smart grid technologies. In this situation, conventional formulations created for an entirely different scenario occasionally fail to address the issue effectively. Modern metaheuristic optimizers are a powerful tool for handling such issues when old techniques fail. This work proposes a user-friendly web Meta-ERM platform for metaheuristic optimization when solving a given case study’s energy resource management problem and allows the visualization of performance analysis.
