Abstract

Electricity consumption in homes is on the rise due to the increasing prevalence of home appliances and longer hours spent indoors. Home energy management systems (HEMSs) are emerging as a solution to reduce electricity consumption and efficiently manage power usage at home. In the past, numerous studies have been conducted on the management of electricity production and consumption through solar power. However, there are limited human-centered studies focusing on the user’s lifestyle. In this study, we propose an Intelligent Home Energy Management System (i-HEMS) and evaluate its energy-saving effectiveness through a demonstration in a standard house in Korea. The system utilizes an IoT environment, PID sensing, and behavioral pattern algorithms. We developed algorithms based on power usage monitoring data of home appliances and human body detection. These algorithms are used as the primary scheduling algorithm and a secondary algorithm for backup purposes. We explored the deep connection between power usage, environmental sensor data, and input schedule data based on Long Short-Term Memory network (LSTM) and developed an occupancy prediction algorithm. We analyzed the use of common home appliances (TV, computer, water purifier, microwave, washing machine, etc.) in a standard house and the power consumption reduction by the i-HEMS system. Through a total of six days of empirical experiments, before implementing i-HEMS, home appliances consumed 13,062 Wh. With i-HEMS, the total consumption was reduced to 10,434 Wh (a 20% reduction), with 9060 Wh attributed to home appliances and 1374 Wh to i-HEMS operation.
