Smart Home Energy Management System Including Renewable

Energy Based on IOT

Abstract:
As home energy use is increasing and renewable energy systems are deployed, home energy
management system (HEMS) needs to consider both energy consumption and generation
simultaneously to minimize the energy cost. This paper proposes a smart HEMS architecture that
considers both energy consumption and generation simultaneously. ZigBee- based energy measurement
modules are used to monitor the energy consumption of home appliances and lights. A PLC- based
renewable energy gateway is used to monitor the energy generation of renewable energies. The home
server gathers the energy consumption and generation data, analyzes them for energy estimation, and
controls the home energy use schedule to minimize the energy cost. The remote energy management
server aggregates the energy data from numerous home servers, compares them, and creates useful
statistical analysis information. By considering both energy consumption and generation, the proposed
1
HEMS architecture is expected to optimize home energy use and result in home energy cost saving .

Introduction:

The current energy crisis has required significant energy reduction in all areas. The energy consumption
in home areas has increased as more home appliances are installed. Energy saving and renewable
energy sources are considered as methods of solving home energy problem. Both energy consumption
and generation should be simultaneously considered to save the home energy cost.

Several researches have proposed home energy management system (HEMS). Optimization of home
power consumption based on power line communication (PLC) has been studied to

provide easy-to-access to home energy consumption [1], [2]. This work considers a device control
module to handle networked home appliances; it does not consider the energy consumption. A green
HEMS that monitors, compares, and controls home appliances has been proposed [3], [4]. It does not
consider renewable energies. As solar and wind power system are deployed, energy management
systems have been studied to enhance smart home [5], [6]. These works consider only renewable
energies, not the energy consumption.

In this paper, a smart HEMS architecture that considers both energy consumption and generation based
on ZigBee and PLC- based renewable energy gateway (REG), respectively. The home server gathers
both the energy consumption data through ZigBee and energy generation data through the REG. By
taking into account both consumption and generation, the home server optimizes home energy use.

This paper is extended from a preliminary work [7]. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section
II describes the proposed HEMS architecture in detail. Section III shows several implementation results
for the architecture. Finally, section IV concludes this paper.

Expected Results :
In the energy consumption part, the EMCU is a key component; it is composed
of measurement and communication blocks. The measurement block measures the power,
energy, and power factor of plugged home appliances. It uses an energy metering IC for
measuring them. The metering IC measures the voltage and current in a sample period; it
multiplies them; it integrates them continuously. The power and energy is calculated with this
process. The power factor is measure based the phase difference between voltage and current.
The measurement block stores only the accumulated energy data at a memory; it
calculates the power and power factor on demand in real time. The measurement block
includes the power control block that supplies or blocks the electricity to connected home
appliances
