Abstract

This paper describes the concept for a distributed demand management program based on bi-directional communication involving an energy management system of a Grid Responsive Energy Efficient Networked (GREEN) home and the energy supplier in the Smart Grid. Our work is motivated by expected benefits that an energy supplying company can achieve based on additional high-granular knowledge regarding his customers’ consumption habits. Our demand management approach uses in-home energy consumption monitoring and forecasting of future demands, which are in aggregated form available to the supplier as a day-ahead and intra-day forecasts. The supplier uses these forecasts to achieve higher precision of trading, and consequently reduce total energy cost. This trading gain he can share with his customers participating in such a program.
