Abstract:
The increasing energy consumption increases the underlying environmental impacts. Hence, designing a more efficient energy management system is a vital research topic to address. A more innovative system for energy management makes energy consumption smarter and more efficient and reduces electricity bills. Several researchers proposed different home energy management systems with only grid supply as the source of energy. This study proposes a new online energy management approach that takes into consideration renewable energy sources coupled with battery autonomy. It is based on a novel architecture for collecting information on the energy consumption in a smart home via a wireless sensor network. In this approach, the first step is to identify the load type of each appliance based on its consumption. The second step consists in defining an energy management policy that utilizes the energy provided by the battery using a demand response method. These results show a reduction in the electricity bill for a smart home.
