The need for energy conservation, especially electricity, is of crucial importance as it is an economic solution to the problem of energy shortage and atmospheric carbon reduction. The role of Artificial intelligence (AI) has also been displayed by researchers in the promotion of energy management. Most of the past literature in the line of energy management strategies proposed various energy management models based on smart grid and smart meter technology, demand side management, home energy management schemes and management based on AI. This paper proposes an AI-based energy management for households in Nigeria. Genetic algorithm was used on smart meter-like data to optimize the energy consumption of households for 24 hours on a weekday and weekend. To achieve this aim, we determine the typical load profile of a mini-grid setting (for household and commercial load profile), develop a simulation of smart meter-like data and develop an energy management system to optimize electricity consumption during a weekday and weekend in a household. We corroborate our theoretical model with numerical results showing the energy (and consumption) saved during these periods. The algorithm will assist electricity consumers in rural communities to effectively manage their usage by avoiding wastage and the unnecessary payment for energy waste.
