Abstract
Residential energy consumption accounts for around 40% of the overall energy consumption in the US, with tens of millions of individual consumers. This large scale consumption creates a promising opportunity to save energy, and in turn, reduce the total cost of energy for consumers. In this work, we focus on how residences can automate and control their energy consumption in an efficient way. This automation is achieved through monitoring and management, which are enabled by advances in smart grid technologies such as smart metering, sensor deployment, and communication methods. We first introduce our home simulation platform, HomeSim, and how it can be used to analyze and develop new home automation policies. Then, we consider smart battery usage and leverage context awareness along with renewable energy integration.
