Abstract: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the conventional power plant, the role of renewable energy-based hybrid systems is essential. These hybrid systems require a proficient energy management system for efficiently managing the energy from different energy sources to maintain the load-supply power balance. This is vital to save energy, diminish energy costs and attain global emission targets. This paper proposes the design of a voting based smart energy management system (VSEMS) of a grid-connected solar-wind-biomass based hybrid energy system. VSEMS utilizes a novel rule-based energy management algorithm (EMA) for taking its decisions. The proposed approach increases customer participation in the decision-making related to their energy supply and also control the intermittency of renewable energy sources efficiently. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm in the real-world environment is validated by doing a case study analysis using yearly usage profile. Results demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in energy management operation. Additionally, results show that the proposed system is economical and quite nature-friendly.
