Recent Techniques Used in Home Energy Management Systems: A Review
Gomes, Isaías; Bot, Karol; Ruano, Maria Graça; Ruano, AntónioPower systems are going through a transition period. Consumers want more active participation in electric system management, namely assuming the role of producers–consumers, prosumers in short. The prosumers’ energy production is heavily based on renewable energy sources, which, besides recognized environmental benefits, entails energy management challenges. For instance, energy consumption of appliances in a h...

Short-Term Forecasting Photovoltaic Solar Power for Home Energy Management Systems
Bot, Karol; Ruano, Antonio; Ruano, Maria da GraçaAccurate photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is crucial to achieving massive PV integration in several areas, which is needed to successfully reduce or eliminate carbon dioxide from energy sources. This paper deals with short-term multi-step PV power forecasts used in model-based predictive control for home energy management systems. By employing radial basis function (RBFs) artificial neural networks (ANN), de...
Design of Ensemble Forecasting Models for Home Energy Management Systems
Bot, Karol; Santos, Samira; Laouali, Inoussa; Ruano, Antonio; Ruano, Maria da GraçaThe increasing levels of energy consumption worldwide is raising issues with respect to surpassing supply limits, causing severe effects on the environment, and the exhaustion of energy resources. Buildings are one of the most relevant sectors in terms of energy consumption; as such, efficient Home or Building Management Systems are an important topic of research. This study discusses the use of ensemble techni...
Home Energy Management Systems with Branch-and-Bound Model-Based Predictive Con...
Bot, Karol; Laouali, Inoussa; Ruano, António; Ruano, Maria da GraçaAt a global level, buildings constitute one of the most significant energy-consuming sectors. Current energy policies in the EU and the U.S. emphasize that buildings, particularly those in the residential sector, should employ renewable energy and storage and efficiently control the total energy system. In this work, we propose a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) by employing a Model-Based Predictive Control...

Bot, Karol; Aelenei, Laura Elena; Goncalves, Helder; Gomes, Maria da Glória; Silva, Carlos SantosABSTRACT: The experimental investigation of building-integrated photovoltaic thermal (BIPVT) solar systems is essential to characterise the operation of these elements under real conditions of use according to the climate and building type they pertain. BIPVT systems can increase and ensure energy performance and readiness without jeopardising the occupant comfort if correctly operated. The present work present...
