Abstract:

This study aims to develop a mathematical model for optimally scheduling usages of home appliances, decisions related to charging and discharging of storage devices and electric vehicles, and energy buying/selling decisions from/to main grid in a smart house. Stochastic optimization approach is employed to obtain less costly consumption policy. The performance of the model is evaluated by comparing the results of the model to the results of a green house which is not supported by an optimization model under same experimental conditions. It is observed that, the model brings a significant saving to the consumer. In numerical experiments, the behavior of the system is analyzed for different price tariffs.
