Abstract
Residential consumers can efficiently engage in demand response programs with the help of home energy management systems (HEMSs). The best scheduling of gas, oil, coal, and uranium appliances has yet to be considered by traditional HEMSs, which exclusively control domestic electric devices to lower the cost of electricity usage. The associated demand response (DR) for smart homes is then adjusted to lessen the difference between predicted and actual demand after comparing the actual price to this forecast. Data acquired by Nordpool and publicly available energy information have been used to test the proposed strategy about price demand forecast and DR management. The function is to reduce energy costs for the home and the dissatisfaction brought on by moving, cutting, and replacing loads by changing prices over time. Case studies with accurate data show that the suggested strategy can return on investment bills by up to 85% while maintaining their satisfaction.

Demand-Response Based Energy Advisor for Household Energy Management
2019 Third World Conference on Smart Trends in Systems Security and Sustainablity (WorldS4)
Home energy management systems (HEMS) are set to play a key role in the future smart grid (SG). HEMS concept enables residential customers to actively participate in demand response programs (DR) to control their energy usage, reduce peak demand and therefore contribute to improve the performance and reliability of the grid. The aim of this paper is to propose an energy management strategy for residential endconsumers. In this framework, a demand response strategy is developed to reduce home energy consumption. The proposed algorithm seeks to minimise peak demand by scheduling household appliances operation and shifting controllable loads during peak hours, when electricity prices are high, to off-peak periods, when electricity prices are lower without affecting the customer's preferences. The overall system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in managing the daily household energy consumption.
A home energy management system with an integrated smart thermostat for demand response in smart grids
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2021
Smart thermostats and home energy management systems (HEMSs) are generally studied separately. However, their joint use can provide a greater benefit. Therefore, this study primarily aims to combine a smart thermostat with a HEMS. The mixed-integer linear programming (MILP)-based HEMS performs day-ahead load scheduling for cost-minimization and provides optimal demand response (DR) and photovoltaic (PV) self-consumption, and the fuzzy logic-based thermostat aims efficient DR of airconditioning and maintenance of thermal comfort. In the first stage, unlike conventional fixed set-point thermostats, the proposed thermostat defines different setpoints for each time interval, by fuzzifying input parameters of electricity prices, solar radiation, and occupant presence, to be used by HEMS. In the second stage, the HEMS schedules the operation of time-shiftable, thermostatically controlled, and power-shiftable (battery energy storage system (BESS), electric vehicle (EV)) loads. The HEMS considers bi-directional power flow between home, BESS, EV, and grid, as well as battery degradation to avoid unnecessary energy arbitrage. The simulation results show that a daily cost reduction of 53.2 % is achieved under time-of-use (TOU) and feed-in tariff rates of Turkey. AC cost is reduced by 24 % compared to conventional thermostats. In a future scenario of real-time pricing (RTP) and dynamic feed-in tariff, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) becomes possible.

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2021
Aim of demand response (DR) programs are to change the usage pattern of electricity in such a way that, beneficial to the consumers as well as to the distributors by applying some methods or technology. This way additional cost to erect new energy sources can be postponed in power grid. Best method to implement demand response (DR) program is by influencing consumer through the implementation of real time pricing scheme. To harness the benefit of DR, automated home energy management system is essential. This paper presents a comprehensive demand response system with real time pricing. The real time price is determined after considering price elasticity of various classes of consumers and their load profiles. A real time clustering algorithm suitable for big data of smart grid is devised for the segmentation of consumers. This paper is novel in its design for real time pricing and modelling and automatic scheduling of appliances for home energy management. Simulation results showed that this new real time pricing method is suitable for DR programs to reduce the peak load of the system as well as reducing the energy expenditure of houses, while ensuring profit for the retailer.

Energy and Buildings, 2014
The existing electricity systems have been substantially designed to allow only centralized power generation and unidirectional power flow. Therefore, the objective of improving the conventional power systems with the capabilities of decentralized generation and advanced control has conflicted with the present power system infrastructure and thus a profound change has necessitated in the current power grids. To that end, the concept of smart grid has been introduced at the last decades in order to accomplish the modernization of the power grid while incorporating various capabilities such as advanced metering, monitoring and self-healing to the systems. Among the various advanced components in smart grid structure, "smart home" is of vital importance due to its handling difficulties caused by the stochastic behaviors of inhabitants. However, limited studies concerning the implementation of smart homes have so far been reported in the literature. Motivated by this need, this paper investigates an experimental smart home with various renewable energy sources and storage systems in terms of several aspects such as in-home energy management, appliances control and power flow. Furthermore, the study represents one of the very first attempts to evaluate the contribution of power forecasting of renewable energy sources on the performance of smart home concepts.

Distributed Demand Side Management with Battery Storage for Smart Home Energy Scheduling
Sustainability, 2017
The role of Demand Side Management (DSM) with Distributed Energy Storage (DES) has been gaining attention in recent studies due to the impact of the latter on energy management in the smart grid. In this work, an Energy Scheduling and Distributed Storage (ESDS) algorithm is proposed to be installed into the smart meters of Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing consumers possessing in-home energy storage devices. Source of energy supply to the smart home appliances was optimized between the utility grid and the DES device depending on energy tariff and consumer demand satisfaction information. This is to minimize consumer energy expenditure and maximize demand satisfaction simultaneously. The ESDS algorithm was found to offer consumer-friendly and utility-friendly enhancements to the DSM program such as energy, financial, and investment savings, reduced/eliminated consumer dissatisfaction even at peak periods, Peak-to-Average-Ratio (PAR) demand reduction, grid energy sustainability, socio-economic benefits, and other associated benefits such as environmental-friendliness. Sustainability 2017, 9, 120 2 of 13 work intends, through its proposed DSM algorithm, to offer PDR benefits to the utility with reduced or negligible peak period demand dissatisfaction to consumers, by optimizing energy supply and demand in consumer premises through the incorporation of an in-home DES device. The proposed Energy Scheduling and Distributed Storage (ESDS) algorithm will carry out energy consumption, storage, and expenditure optimization in the smart homes equipped with an in-home DES device. The ESDS algorithm optimizes energy demand and supply in the home between the grid and battery depending on grid energy price and consumer preferences. The ESDS optimization problem was formulated using convex programming and can be installed into smart meters on consumers' premises.

Journal of Electrical Engineering and Technology, 2014
Application of residential demand response (DR) programs are currently realized up to a limited extent due to customers' difficulty in manually responding to the time-differentiated prices. As a solution, this paper proposes an automatic home load management (HLM) framework to achieve the household minimum payment as well as meet the operational constraints to provide customer's comfort. The projected HLM method controls on/off statuses of responsive appliances and the charging/discharging periods of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and battery storage at home. This paper also studies the impacts of different time-varying tariffs, i.e., time of use (TOU), real time pricing (RTP), and inclining block rate (IBR), on the home load management (HLM). The study is effectuated in a smart home with electrical appliances, a PHEV, and a storage system. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed HLM program. Peak of household load demand along with the customer payment costs are reported as the consequence of applying different pricings models in HLM.

International Journal of Engineering Research and, 2015
The objective of this work is to design and implement an architectural framework for a webbased demand management system that allows an electric utility to reduce system peak load by automatically managing end-use appliances based on homeowners' preferences. The proposed framework comprises the following components: human user interface, home energy management (HEM) algorithms, web services for demand response communications, selected ZigBee and smart energy profile features for appliance interface, and security aspects for a webbased HEM system.

The HEM system enables customers to monitor and control their household appliances from anywhere with an Internet connection. It offers a user-friendly and attractive display panel for a homeowner to easily set his/her preferences and comfort settings. An algorithm to autonomously control appliance operation is incorporated in the proposed webbased HEM system, which makes it possible for residential customers to participate in demand response programs. In this work, the algorithm is demonstrated to manage power-intensive appliances in a single home, keeping the total household load within a certain limit while satisfying preset comfort settings and user preferences. Furthermore, an extended version of the algorithm is demonstrated to manage power-intensive appliances for multiple homes within a neighborhood.

A review of residential demand response of smart grid
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016
Advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) enable a great opportunity to develop the residential demand response that is relevant in smart grid applications. Demand response (DR) aims to manage the required demand to match the available energy resources without adding new generation capacity. Expanding the DR to cover the residential sector in addition to the industrial and commercial sectors gives rise to a wide range of challenges. This study presents an overview of the literature on residential DR systems, load-scheduling techniques, and the latest ICT that supports residential DR applications. Furthermore, challenges are highlighted and analyzed, which are likely to become relevant research topics with regard to the residential DR of smart grid. The literature review shows that most DR schemes suffer from an externality problem that involves the effect of high-level customer consumption on the price rates of other customers, especially during peak period. A recommendation for using adaptive multi-consumption level pricing scheme is presented to overcome this challenge.
