Abstract: A remodeled sperm swarm optimization (RMSSO) algorithm for a home energy management (HEM) system is proposed, and its real-time efficacy was evaluated using a hardware experimental model. This home environment comprised sixteen residential loads, a smart meter and a Raspberry Pi controller to optimize the energy consumption cost (ECC) in response to the Indian day-ahead pricing (DAP) scheme. A wired/wireless communication network was considered to communicate with the smart meter and controller. To address this optimization problem, the sperm swarm optimization (SSO) algorithm’s constriction coefficient was remodeled to improve its global searching capability and proposed as RMSSO. For the first time, salp swarm optimization (SSA), SSO, and RMSSO algorithms were employed to schedule home appliances in the Indian scenario. To validate the proposed technique’s outcome, the results were compared to those of the conventional SSO and SSA algorithms. This problem was solved using the Python/GUROBI optimizer tool. As a consequence, consumers can use this control strategy in real-time to reduce energy consumption costs.
