Optimal management of energy consumption in homes with variable loads and tariffs

 

Energy consumption has become a great topic of interest in the last few years and our focus is achieving energy efficiency in buildings. Starting small, our focus is on developing mathematical model of the residential unit. The model is made by IDA-ICE tool, with respect to the dimensions and used materials. Model predictive control is used to optimize consumption of different devices in the given area and link it to weather conditions and the behaviour of people. Algorithm implementation is performed in MATLAB/Simulink. The focus is put on the refrigerator and its consumption with regard to the different price models of the electrical energy.
