2.5.4. Demand Response

With the rapid increase in population and wireless devices in HAN, demand for electricity has also increased. In a conventional grid system, it is hard to accommodate the electricity needs because conventional systems have various challenges, such as maintenance, erection, operation, and design [39]. This strategy is used to control or reduce the electricity consumption at peak hours. It does not only reduce the use of electricity consumption at peak hours but also reduces the electricity consumption cost. Different rates have already been offered for various hours [18,19].
