Abstract :

In recent years, the increase in electricity consumption in the household sector and the increase in the purchase price of electricity have led to the creation of an energy management system in smart homes. The smart home energy management system schedules the equipment for the next 24 hours. This paper examines a smart home that incorporates new technologies like interruptible loads, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, renewable energy sources, and smart devices. In this paper, the smart home energy management system, knowing its consumption needs and the current price of electricity in the electricity market, provides the power it requires by purchasing from the power grid or using the production power of renewable energy resources. Additionally, the smart home energy management system can sell its excess production power to the grid in a few hours. This paper aims to reduce the operating costs of a smart home during the day, and it has done so in several different scenarios. The effect of charging and discharging electric vehicle, energy storage system, and renewable energy resources in reducing costs has been investigated in these scenarios.
