A Software Application for Smart Home Energy Management System

A cross-platform software application was developed to manage energy generation and consumption intelligently in smart homes. The system model consists of domestic loads, household distributed energy resources and an energy storage component that supports scheduled charging/discharging. The software deals with all these electrical devices as well as their energy information, based on which real-time conditions are presented to the resident and the history can be queried. Whats more, the application fulfills kinds of energy profiling and pricing-related optimization on account of demand response, resulting more monetary benefits and comforts. The software interacts smartly with energy owners by graphical user interface (GUI) and enables an intelligent electricity usage pattern in the context of smart power consumption within the framework of smart grid.
