Title
Flexible power consumption management in smart homes
Abstract
The complexity of the power system keeps growing due to the penetration of alternative sources of electric energy such as solar plant and wind farm to meet the growing demand for electricity. In order to overcome the challenges due to complexity the power grid needs to be intelligent in all aspects. As the grid gets smarter, considerable efforts are being undertaken to make the houses and businesses smarter in consuming the electrical energy to minimize and level the electricity demand. It also necessitates that the conventional way to do modeling, control and energy management in all sectors needs to be improved or replaced by intelligent information processing techniques. We propose a policy based framework which allows intelligent and flexible energy management of home appliances in a smart home which is complex and dynamic in ways that save energy automatically. In this paper, we consider the challenges in formalizing the behavior of the appliances using states, and managing the energy consumption using policies. Our simulation results show that the proposed system can efficiently manage energy in a smart home in a user friendly way.
