Abstract

This paper presents a chance constrained, model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for demand response (DR) in a home energy management system (HEMS). The HEMS optimally schedules controllable appliances given user preferences such as thermal comfort and energy cost sensitivity, and available residentially-owned power sources such as photovoltaic (PV) generation and home battery systems. The proposed control architecture ensures both the DR event and indoor thermal comfort are satisfied with a high probability given the uncertainty in available PV generation and the outdoor temperature forecast. The uncertainties are incorporated into the MPC formulation using probabilistic constraints instead of computationally limiting sampling-based approaches. Simulation results for various user preferences and probabilistic model parameters show the effectiveness of the HEMS algorithm response to DR requests.
