Abstract

A control method of smart appliances, as part of home automation, is simulated. An optimization technique, binary integer programming, is employed to solve the scheduling of smart appliances. The cost savings achieved by interrupting the cycle of smart appliances has been explored within the optimisation suite. The home automation controller is using price signals made available by smart meters to shift and interrupt smart appliances in order to maximise the benefits for the residential consumers. Results show that the described optimisation can be used in home automation for cost savings while allowing users different levels of control on the smart appliances. A case study carried out with three smart appliances shows substantial cost savings under real time pricing.
