Summary Residential building consumes a significant amount of energy. To address the issue, these structures have been supplied with renewable energy sources (RES), an energy storage system (ESS), and an electric vehicle (EV). In a home, a home energy management system (HEMS) has been implemented to schedule and regulate domestic appliances. Many studies in HEMS have been conducted in order to reduce the cost of power and the peak to average ratio (PAR). However, there is insufficient use of RES, ESS, EV, and excess domestic energy. As a result, this research presents a HEMS architecture that is integrated with RES and ESS and includes home‐to‐grid (H2G) power flow functionality. The RES electricity is initially utilized to power domestic appliances and charge ESS before being transferred back into the main grid to reap economic rewards. During the low‐price period, the ESS and EV are charged and discharged during the high‐price period. The paper built a multi‐objective optimization problem using the provided approach that integrates electricity cost and system PAR. The grey wolf optimization algorithm is used to tackle the multi‐objective optimization problem. The results clearly show that the proposed technique decreases expenditures by 45.80% and PAR by 28.44%, compared to the baseline timetable in 24 h. The H2G power flow feature allows the home to send back excess energy to the grid, cutting electricity expenditures by 70% and achieving additional economic benefits.

“…Many studies have evaluated various meta-heuristic optimization strategies for tracking the maximum power point in renewable energy (RE) plants. FSSO 67,68 , and CS 69 are better at efficiency, accuracy, resilience, and time to convergence than Genetic Algorithms (GA) 70,71 , Differential Evolution (DE) 72,73 , or Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) [74][75][76] .…”

This study looks into how to make proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells work more efficiently in environments that change over time using new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods. We evaluate the efficacy of Flying Squirrel Search Optimization (FSSO) and Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithms in adapting to varying conditions, including fluctuations in pressure and temperature. Through meticulous simulations and analyses, the study explores the collaborative integration of these techniques with boost converters to enhance reliability and productivity. It was found that FSSO consistently works better than CS, achieving an average increase of 12.5% in power extraction from PEM fuel cells in a variety of operational situations. Additionally, FSSO exhibits superior adaptability and convergence speed, achieving the maximum power point (MPP) 25% faster than CS. These findings underscore the substantial potential of FSSO as a robust and efficient MPPT method for optimizing PEM fuel cell systems. The study contributes quantitative insights into advancing green energy solutions and suggests avenues for future exploration of hybrid optimization methods.

As a result of increasing industrialisation and the use of machines, the demand for both energy and water are increasing. As a result, it is necessary to develop sustainable environmental structural systems in both energy production and irrigation water. This, in turn, requires the most accurate use of existing water resources and the immediate implementation of sustainable agricultural systems. Despite this, none of the agricultural enterprises are yet using systems such as rainwater harvesting and solar power techniques. The main aim of this research is to find effective results in terms of savings and to contribute to the prevention of water scarcity in the future. At the same time, the advantages of environmentally friendly zero-energy roofs and rainwater collection systems are evaluated. Elazig province of Turkey was selected for this study. When the benefits of the solar power plant to be built on the relevant farm and an average tree are compared in terms of reducing the CO2 emissions, it was found that the contribution of this plant would be equal to that of planting 113,506 trees.
