Abstract

To reduce energy consumption arising from increasing energy efficiency in response to energy depletion around the world, energy price rises, climate change, and accidents of electric power are cooperating simultaneously. Recognizing the seriousness of the above-mentioned problems, feasible and effective policies for reducing greenhouse gas have been promoted in developed countries since the 2000s. Moreover, industry and academia are actively researching to develop energy-efficient and eco-friendly technologies, respectively. This study proposes an optimal model for scheduling home appliances that minimizes power costs by assuming a smart-home environment with smart metering and advanced metering infrastructure. In addition, a case-study was performed using actual data from South Korea, and sensitivity analysis was performed according to changes in parameters. The experiment considered possible real-life situations, such as an increase and decrease in power cost and a limitation in power usage, and proved that the proposed model was excellent to establish a power schedule for home appliances. This research result seems to serve as a guideline in relation to the control of home appliances to reduce power and smart homes.
