Abstract
Abstract. A home/building energy management system (H/BEMS) is the fundamental unit for smart-grid development. This paper proposes a pilot project developed for smart H/BEMS, where the load (power consumption) can be scheduled, controlled, or optimized. The proposed energy management system (EMS) integrates the Virtual End Node (VEN) for OpenADR 2.0b Alliance platform such that demand-side management can be performed automatically according to the event issued from the Virtual Top Node (VTN). Wireless sensors using Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE) as the communication protocol are also developed and integrated in the EMS architecture. Finally, the developed EMS architecture has been implemented into 24 households with smart meter each installed in public housing in Taipei, Taiwan for testing and demonstration. Results show that the proposed EMS has successfully reduced the power consumption of a household averaged about 12.62% for the past 12 months.
