Home energy management optimizing models for residential demand response considering compound DES

In this paper, decision-making models of Home Energy Management are proposed to consider both the active control of DES and the passive load response to time of use and incentive measures. Thus, the optimal models are established to minimize electricity cost, or minimize peak-to-valley decline of electricity bills with constraints of electrical quantity, household appliances safety and consumers´ comfort both in time and space. Simulation of different optimization goals implemented by different control means such as DES, storage, and TOU price are obtained to represent economy and stability. Five models differing in incentive measures are simulated. The analytical result validates effectiveness of the proposed models´ and give guidance to configuration of a smart home and implementation of DR. And the simulation results quantitatively prove that DR and DES complement each other.
