We propose a consumption scheduling mechanism for home and neighbourhood area load demand management in smart grid using integer linear programming (ILP) and game theory. The proposed mechanism is able to schedule both the optimal power and the optimal operation time for power-shiftable appliances and time-shiftable appliances respectively according to the power consumption patterns of all the individual appliances. Simulation results for both the centralised and the distributed management scenarios have been presented to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
