Abstract

Smart Home Energy Management is a very hot topic for the scientific community and some interesting solutions have also recently appeared on the market. One key issue is represented by the capability of planning the usage of energy resources in order to reduce the overall energy costs. This means that, considering the dynamic electricity price and the availability of adequately sized storage system, the expert system is supposed to automatically decide the more convenient policy for energy management from and towards the grid. In this work a comparison among different linear and nonlinear methods for home energy resource scheduling is proposed, considering the presence of data uncertainty into account. Indeed, whereas the employment of advanced optimization frameworks can take advantage by their inherent offline approach, the need to forecast the energy price and the amount of self-generated power. A residential scenario, in which a system storage and renewable resources are available and exploitable to match the user load demand, has been considered for performed computer simulations: obtained results show how the offline approaches provide good performance also in presence of uncertain data.
