This paper proposes a centralized optimization-based home energy management (HEM) scheme in a macro energy hub structure. An energy hub management system manages the aggregated load of a group of residential micro energy hubs to minimize the total load deviation. The operational characteristics of the household appliances and the threshold energy cost of the customers are incorporated in the propounded method to provide the customers' comfort. Numerical studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method performance  

Residential energy management (REM) program is a demand response (DR) tool that automatically manages energy consumption of controllable household appliances to improve the energy consumption profile of a house according to electricity price. REM intends not only to improve technical aspects of distribution systems but also motivate customers for active participation in DR programs. In this regard, this paper proposes a two-level REM framework. In the first level, each customer runs an optimization problem to minimize his payment cost and sends the desired operation scheduling of appliances and the payment cost to the system operator. In the second level, a multiobjective (MO) optimization...
