Smart Home Electricity Management In The Context Of Local Power Resources And Smart Grid, Weiliang Zhao, Lan Ding, Paul Cooper, Pascal Perez

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

This work proposes a smart home electricity management approach that can predict and schedule electricity demand and supply by considering: the 'state' of the smart grid, local power generation capacity, and electrical consumption of household appliances. The prediction of weather conditions and the immediate and longer-term plans of the residential home occupants are crucial parameters in the smart home decision-making system that acts on behalf of the occupants. This paper provides a motivation example and associated scenarios, electrical energy supply/demand models, formalization of the cost optimization problem, and scheduling schemes for a smart home electricity management system in the context …
