Contribution to the development of an energy management solution in a green smart home (EMSGSH)

Abstract

This document offers a smart solution for managing green energy for a home (EMSGSH). It offers services such as optimizing the energy consumed while assuming green energy available at home. However, the random nature of this type of energy in the power generation, we require using a hybrid energy system (HES) accompanied by energy storage in the form of a battery. The home is considered a distributed system, it is composed of a set of elements that are geographically distributed and in permanent interaction. Following all its features, we chose two approaches for this solution, the multi-agent systems (MAS) for the control of the elements and the domain ontology to ensure a good formal representation of the data associated with the system. We propose a master-slave architecture. A slave agent is proposed for each device to control its local consumption and a single master agent is proposed to control all agents. The objective is to optimize the use of green energy and minimize consumption costs by exploiting the offers of electric power suppliers. The last part of this work was reserved to present the agents (tasks and responsibilities, interactions ...) and to model the agent's society using a unified modeling language (UML), also the ontology elements are presented and edited in the Protégé software.
