Abstract :
This paper describes home energy management system for apartment complex which has energy saving facilities such as BIPV (Built-in Photovoltaic) and motorized blinders. We implements complex home energy management system consisting of home servers, complex server, home appliances, and common energy facilities. Each home-server manages home appliances´ energy usage data and on-off control based on user defined schedule and demand-response signaling. Centralized complex server gathers weather information, energy cost and home energy usage, and it controls energy facilities and home appliances to save energy consumption. In these days, more and more homes are installing the renewable energy and energy efficient facilities such as BIPV and motorized blinders. The proposed complex home energy management system provides optimal energy saving solutions to the apartment complex which has energy facilities.
