The increase in energy prices combined with the environmental impact of energy production has made energy efficiency a key component towards the development of smart homes. An efficient energy management strategy for smart homes results in minimized electricity consumption leading to cost savings. Towards this goal, we investigate the impact of environmental factors on home energy consumption. ...

Abstract Most of the energy produced in world is consumed by commercial and residential buildings. With growth global economy demographics, this demand has become increasingly important. This led to higher unit electricity prices, frequent stresses on main grid carbon emissions due inefficient management. paper presents an energy-consumption management system based time-shifting loads according...

The global increasing demand for energy has brought attention to the need efficiency. Markedly noticeable in developing areas, challenges can be at-tributed losses distribution and transmission sys-tems, insufficient demand-side management. Demand-oriented systems have been widely proposed as feasible solutions. Smart Home Energy Management Systems include smart Internet of Things (IoT)-capable...

In this paper, in a Model Predictive Control problem, we tackle the integration of uncertain constraints that belong to discrete set. We propose controller offers solution reformulate stochastic avoid exponential growth scenario tree experienced by existing controllers. The proposed controller’s efficiency is shown benchmarking and comparing it with Multistage Stochastic Programming algorithm c...

Objects can easily be remotely sensed, monitored and controlled when home is automated using the Internet of Things (IoT); this will give room for direct integration real world into computerized systems. Energy consumption defined as degree amount power expended by a given load in an electric circuit. Nowadays, inefficient techniques used monitoring control consuming devices has contributed imm...

Home Energy Management Systems (HEMSs) have become necessary due to energy security and climate change concerns. Scheduling the operating time of household appliances is one most effective strategies used by HEMSs reduce electricity costs, with several studies proposing optimization for scheduling home grid usage cost. This work considers costs from Renewable Sources (RESs) Storage (ESSs) in ap...

A variety of energy management systems are currently available for domestic domain, and many are concerned with real-time energy consumption monitoring and display of statistical and real time data of energy consumption. Although these systems play a crucial role in providing a detailed picture of energy consumption in home environment and contribute to influencing energy consumption behavior, ...
