Abstract
This paper describes a home energy management system (HEMS) based on
power line communication. Smart metering and power line communication
can provide detailed information of energy consumption patterns and
intelligent controlling to appliances at home. We propose a HEMS that
can provide easy-to-access information on home energy consumption in
real time, intelligent planning for controlling appliances, and
optimization of power consumption at home. The HEMS consists of three
modules: an advanced power control planning engine, a device control
module, and a power resource management server. Our prototype system
reduces the cost of power consumption by about 10%.
