Abstract

Optimization of energy use is an important concept in providing solutions to lots of the energy challenges in our world nowadays. Large hydraulic, mechanical, chemical, electrical and pneumatic systems require energy efficiency as one of the significant aspects of operating systems. This paper presents a smart home energy management system (SHEMS) with distributed generations, energy storages and smart domestic appliances, as well as its typical structures. According to the power consumption characteristics of household appliances and the users’ dependence, the residential loads are classified into four types. An optimization strategy of SHEMS is proposed to minimize customer electricity expenditure and maximize demand satisfaction simultaneously. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can make users of smart home have a comfortable and economical life.
