Abstract
A Home Energy Management (HEM) system is an integral part of a smart grid that can potentially enable demand response applications for residential customers. It provides a homeowner the ability to automatically perform smart load controls based on utility signals, customers preference and load priority. This paper presents an intelligent HEM for managing high power consumption household appliances for demand response (DR) analysis. The proposed HEM manages household loads according to their preset priority and guarantees the total household power consumption below certain levels.Given the lack of understanding about DR potentials in this market, this work serves as an essential stepping-stone toward providing an insight into how much DR can be performed for residential customers.
