Abstract

To reduce the peak load and the cost of electricity, this work proposes a QoE-aware and cost-efficient smart control algorithm for the home energy management system. The proposed algorithm reduces the peak load and the electricity bill by shifting the starting times of delay-tolerant home appliances from peak to off-peak hours. However, the maximum allowable delay of the starting time of a home appliance is constrained by a given QoE threshold. Several QoE mapping functions for various appliances were also proposed in this paper. Simulation results indicate that the proposed QoE-aware smart control algorithm significantly reduces the peak load and electricity bill while preserving the user comfort or QoE.
