HOME ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR DEMAND RESPONSE APPLICATIONS

Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering

Now a days, energy saving is one of the most important issue for development of smart grid. The utility companies have higher electric charge during peak periods, so smart grid emphasizes off-peak energy consumption. The Home Energy Management system shall play a very important role in realizing residential demand response in smart grid environment. Therefore, the HEM system with Demand Response (DR) is proposed, in which different loads are used and corresponding priority is adjusted based on priority of user. The controller board is used, which makes a decision to switch ON/OFF action of the selected end use appliances based on utility signal as well as home owners load priority and preference setting. It also demonstrates that how each appliance will perform when it will be controlled by HEM. The proposed system is also responsible for collecting electrical consumption data from all loads and provides an interface for homeowner to retrieve appliances status. It provides user to know the status of appliances wirelessly through sms.
