Smart home modeling with real appliances

Abstract

Renewable energy sources bring new challenges to power consumption planning on all levels (household, city or region). In this paper, we present a smart household appliance-level scheduling system, called PAX. We describe the details of the PAX scheduling core and its usage for optimizing an appliance power consumption profile according to actual power source regime. The PAX system is tested on data sets from a one year measurements of household appliances and renewable power sources, which are described in detail in the text. These data form a basis for the PAX exploitation in both simulated power system modeling and real-world power consumption scheduling.
