Title
A Sustainable and User-Behavior-Aware Cyber-Physical System for Home Energy Management.
Abstract
There is a growing trend for employing cyber-physical systems to help smart homes improve the comfort of residents. However, a residential cyber-physical system is different from a common cyber-physical system since it directly involves human interaction, which is full of uncertainty. The existing solutions could be effective for performance enhancement in some cases when no inherent and dominant human factors are involved. Besides, the rapidly rising interest in the deployments of cyber-physical systems at home does not normally integrate with energy management schemes, which is a central issue that smart homes have to face. In this article, we propose a cyber-physical-system-based energy management framework to enable a sustainable-edge computing paradigm while meeting the needs of home energy management and residents. This framework aims to enable the full use of renewable energy while reducing electricity bills for households. A prototype system was implemented using real-world hardware. The experiment results demonstrated that renewable energy is fully capable of supporting the reliable running of home appliances most of the time and electricity bills could be cut by up to 60% when our proposed framework was employed.
