Smart Home Energy Management based on Tasks Interaction

In this paper we introduced two types of common household demand, time limited and controlling demands. In this model based on the idea of mutual interaction between these two demands, we propose a new model for home load management. After assigning an innovative concave utility-function model for each demand, we change the common method of summing up the individual utility-functions with multiplication. The introduced model is developed as an MINLP problem that can be successfully handled by available commercial software. The analysis of the numerical examples indicates that they are acceptable in terms of optimality and compliance with actual conditions in human experience.
