“…Smart houses are defined as modernized sensorembedded residences with various integrated systems that are capable of communicating each other while being controlled remotely [3]. Basically, the concept of a smart house focuses on two constituents: it has to be fully integrated with ambient intelligence environments, and it has to base on the interrelations between the users and environments.…”

“…Likewise, Wood and Newborough [17] concentrated on home automation systems as a significant aspect of smart houses for the promotion of comfort, well-being, safety and energy saving actions. Therefore, this traditional idea of embedded intelligence within smart houses refers to the concept of functional automation [2,3].…”

a b s t r a c tIn the context of intelligent environments, the smart houses are often pointed as one of the main constituents of smarter living environments. This study attempts to theoretically analyze case models of smart houses in order to identify their essence and characteristics. The results show that the most significant intelligent values embodied in smart houses embrace technologies of the functional automation. In fact, smart houses are substantially intertwined with integrated ICT technologies which aim to ensure comfortable living environments. Despite the identified challenges, the proliferation of smart houses into urban areas requires an integration of them in the city for creating intelligent environments. As a result, the promotion and integration of smart houses with other smarter elements of cities could archive a significant enhancement of the quality of life and a stronger urban sustainability.

“…Smart home systems are widely referred to as "home automation", which has attracted more attention in recent years due to the development of control systems for entertainment, heating, broadband, lighting and security from one of many types of digital computer control devices, panels and mobile handsets [23]. An overview has been presented in [24] of the challenges of smart homes that information and communication technology will face in the residential home environment. The relationship between human and automated intelligence in green buildings is explored in [25].…”

Abstract-This work proposes a smart home electricity management approach that can predict and schedule electricity demand and supply by considering: the 'state' of the smart grid, local power generation capacity, and electrical consumption of household appliances. The prediction of weather conditions and the immediate and longer-term plans of the residential home occupants are crucial parameters in the smart home decision-making system that acts on behalf of the occupants. This paper provides a motivation example and associated scenarios, electrical energy supply/demand models, formalization of the cost optimization problem, and scheduling schemes for a smart home electricity management system in the context of a smart grid, smart appliances, and local renewable energy resources. A case study is provided to illustrate how the proposed approach works.Index Terms-Smart grid, renewable energy, smart home, demand side energy management. I. INTRODUCTIONGlobal renewable energy generation capacity has been rising at a rapid rate in recent years. Renewables are on track to contribute significantly to electric power systems, for example, renewables accounted for almost half of the estimated 208 GW of new electric capacity installed globally in 2011 [1]. In particular, non-hydro renewables have registered a 24% capacity increase over 2010 and have exceeded 390 GW in total. Globally, wind and solar PV accounted for almost 40% and 30% of new renewable capacity, respectively.There is an emerging trend for residential homes on smart grids to have local electric power generation as a portion of electricity supply. Home power local generation usually comes from photovoltaic systems, micro combined heat and power (microCHP) systems, wind turbines, etc. With the incorporation of distributed renewable energy generators, the present power system will be transformed into a large-scale distributed generation system [2], [3]. In the classical centralized power network, electric power flows from power plants to the customer premises in a one-way supply mode. Distributed renewable energy resources bring new situations of local electricity production and two-way electricity flows which dramatically increases the control requirements on the grid. However, advances in information and communication technologies provide the opportunity for efficient data Manuscript received March 15, 2013; revised May 27, 2013.

Emerging smart grid technologies can potentially change the power network into a digitally enabled electrical grid that collects, analyzes, and acts on information according to the dynamic status of both suppliers and consumers of energy. A smart grid can improve the effi...
