Benchmarking set for domestic smart grid management

Abstract

In this paper we propose a benchmark for domestic smart grid management. It consists of an in-depth description of a domestic smart grid, in which local energy consumers, producers and buffers can be controlled. First, from this description a general benchmark framework is derived, which can be used as a guideline to create benchmark sets to compare domestic smart grid management methodologies. Secondly, an implementation of such a benchmark set is discussed in full detail, to give an example on how to use the framework to create a benchmark set. The application area and validity of a benchmark set can be clearly defined and checked, by using the general framework.
