Home energy control algorithm research based on demand response programs and user comfort

摘要

Adjusting the energy consumption and executing effective demand side management, and demand response (DR) program at home, so as to achieve peak shaving and the optimal allocation of resources must be an important part of smart grid in the future. In fact home energy management scheduling is a problem mixed the discrete form home appliance scheduling problem (such as light, TV, computer) and the continuous form home appliance scheduling problem (such as heating, ventilation and refrigeration equipment's control). This paper proposed home energy management scheduling algorithm based on market DR program and household comfort constraints. Except the theoretical analysis, algorithm simulation was conducted based on the existing energy prices and household consumption data. The effectiveness of the algorithm was proved in energy management.
