Optimal planning and scheduling of smart homes' energy hubs

Abstract

This article presents a mathematical model for optimal planning and scheduling of smart homes' energy hubs (SHEHs). The electricity demand of the SHEH model is formulated and categorized into four different loads: lighting loads, delay intolerant loads (DILs), delay tolerant loads (DTLs), and other electrical loads (OELs). The SHEH also includes heat, cooling, and water demands. Lighting demand includes sunlight that illuminates the house during the day and the required electricity power for illuminating the house in the absence of daylight. Cooler/heater, freezer, and fridge are DILs and they cannot tolerate any electricity interruption. Washer, dryer, and dishwasher are DTLs which can be operated at different times. Electricity demand is supplied by wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV), and combined heat and power (CHP). Electric vehicle-charging station (EV-CS) can be used as a backup for them. The heat demand is supplied by CHP and boiler (B). Thermal storage (TS) is used as their backup. Water demand is supplied via water pump (WP) and cooling demand is supplied by absorption chiller (AC). Simulation is applied to a residential building. General algebraic modeling system (GAMS) software is utilized to solve the problem. The simulation results demonstrate the electricity demand formed by the DILs, DTLs, lighting, and OELs. The sizes of the aforementioned SHEH components (WT, PV, CHP, EV-CS, B, TS, WP, and AC) are calculated. The SHEH is scheduled based on the mathematical model and the optimal size of the components. Finally, sensitive analysis is implemented to confirm the proposed approach.

“…It is appropriate to include some crucial functionality and features when it comes to energy efficiency coverage and analytics support. 23,24 Pazouki et al 25 established a mathematical approach for optimizing the planning and scheduling of energy hubs in smart homes. The smart home energy hub (SHEH) model's electricity demand is divided into four categories: lighting loads, delay intolerant loads (DILs), delay tolerant loads (DTLs), and other electrical loads (OELs).…”

Is exponential stability achievable in singular perturbed delayed systems with time-varying parameters? A comprehensive analysis

“…Furthermore, the incorporation of time-varying parameters in the analysis is paramount for capturing the intricate nature of real-world systems, where parameters may not remain constant over time [ [40] , [41] , [42] ]. In many practical applications, parameters are subject to variations, uncertainties, or external disturbances [ [43] , [44] , [45] ]. Hence, incorporating time-varying parameters in the stability analysis enriches the understanding of the system's behavior under diverse scenarios, enhancing its practical relevance [ [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] ].…”

A Novel Short-Term Residential Electric Load Forecasting Method Based on Adaptive Load Aggregation and Deep Learning Algorithms

“…In the meantime, with the development of renewable energy technologies, rooftop photovoltaic and distributed electric vehicles are also widely involved in home energy management [1][2][3]. Therefore, the household microgrid will be established by household appliances, rooftop photovoltaic, distributed electric vehicles, and battery energy storage devices [4][5][6]. The constructed household microgrid can dispatch the residential electricity flexibly, provide demand-side response capability, and, finally, improve the economic performance of the microgrid operational management.…”
