Abstract:
Controlling power utilization in the residential area is one of the major challenges in the smart grid (SG). Demand response (DR) has played a vital role in energy management and improved it with the involvement of residential consumers who participate in such programs from utilities for scheduling their appliances to the off peak hours. In this paper, we have proposed a world-wide adaptive thermostat model for effectively managing the power in all countries of the world. The proposed approach has been evaluated with the help of fuzzy logic and its two inference systems (FIS): 1) Mamdani and 2) Takagi Sugeno. Utilizing the membership functions; outdoor temperature, user occupancy, utility price and initialized setpoints are evaluated for maintaining the buildings temperature. Furthermore, energy consumption in buildings is analyzed by tuning the indoor initialized setpoints while considering all the aforementioned parameters. Simulations are conducted in Matlab to validate the proposed system model and results show that energy consumption in cold countries is reduced upto 45% as compared to the existing programmable approach.
