Demand side management (DSM) involves technologies and strategies that allow customers to actively participate in the optimization of their energy usage patterns, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and efficient energy system. In this paper, leader beluga whale optimization improvement (LBWO) and original beluga whale optimization (BWO) are used to implement a DSM scheme that enables lower peak-to-average ratio (PAR) and decreasing the expenses associated with electricity consumption. In the context of this research, electricity consumers decide to store, buy, or sell the electricity to maximize profits while minimizing its costs and PAR. Electricity consumers make their decisions based on the amount of electricity generated from their mini-grid, electricity prices and demand from the public network. The mini-grid is a combination of a photovoltaic panel and a wind turbine connected to an energy storage system (ESS). An ESS is used for maintaining power system stability because the power generated from renewable energy source (RES) has intermittent characteristics depending on environmental conditions. The proposed scheme is tested on three different cases from a study, the first case is the traditional house, the second case is the smart house with DSM, and the last case is the smart house with its mini-grid and DSM. The simulation outcomes of the suggested approach validate the efficiency and strength of the suggested scheme with regard to reducing the cost of electricity and the PAR while increasing the profit for electricity consumers.
