  4. Abstract:
  5. New technologies such as smart homes and appliances and renewable energy production have been attracting much attention in recent years. In practice, the management of these technologies to get the minimum household payment has become a challenge due to the time-varying electricity price. In this paper, we propose a real time energy management system to manage the appliances and storages. The solar energy is charged in the storages and used together with the grid electricity to supply the appliances. The proposed management system uses an ILP-based Home Energy Management (ILPHEM) optimization engine. ILPHEM schedules appliances requests and storage usage based on updated real time input data for minimum household payment. Experimental results show that the proposed ILPHEM model can reduce the household payments by 20% compared to the best conventional approach
