Abstract

To overcome energy shortage, renewable energy resources are being used and in view of smart home energy management interconnectivity of renewable energy source and electric utility is the key issue. In this work, a method was proposed to integrate solar photovoltaic-based energy sources for a domestic consumer with efficient load management using a smart home energy management system (SHEMS). The SHEMS offers users the balance electric utility load cost curve by shifting load for the peak time period to off-peak time and solar photovoltaic source. Load shifting or scheduling of home appliances was done using the Knapsack algorithm. The knapsack problem is a problem in the combinational optimization field to find the maximum number of elements having maximum profit with a weight capacity equal to sack capacity. Our results show that the performance of SHEMS was enhanced with the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) in the proposed system setup. The evaluated result was also compared with the already proposed system, and it was found that the efficiency of the proposed system is above 16% that is better than the efficiency of an already evaluated system.
