Abstract

This paper explores Home Energy Management System (HEMS) algorithms to minimize household cost while maintaining comfort when faced with uncertain weather, and demand. Specifically, we consider a HEMS that optimizes forward looking schedules for a home's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); water heater (WH); and electric vehicle (EV) charging while considering uncertainty in outside temperature, hot water usage, and non-controllable load (NCL). We adopt a Dynamic Programming (DP) formulation and utilize the Dynamic programming for Adaptive Modeling and Optimization (DYNAMO) toolkit to implement DP and approximate dynamic programming (ADP) algorithms. Simulation results under a single tariff plan compare the quality of the solution generated by ADP to that of DP, and show significant improvement in computation time while maintaining acceptable solution accuracy.
