The control is directed to reduce the peak demand without sacrificing the customer's comfort level. The proposed concept is directed to increase the grid efficiency and to reduce the supply demand gap. The proposed fuzzy based controller is directed to increase the temperature settings of the AC by taking voltage drop as the reference value, thereby resulting into the reduced motor compressor operating time and reduced demand from the grid. When no. of ACs are assumed to be controlled by such controller, the peak demand on the grid can be reduced. This will help in reducing the greenhouse gases emission resulting due to polluting and expensive plants like coal, diesel and gas based power plants.
