Project Goals:
AI4HomeEnergy aims to develop a new generation of HEMS that, based on the definition of a flexible, modular and scalable architecture for a domestic installation, with consumption of household appliances, electric vehicle charging, local generation (mainly photovoltaic – PV, thermal and wind) and storage (mainly batteries), will form the basis of a family of products that the aggregate agent (and other companies that reach commercialisation agreements with the University of Seville) will market on the international market. (mainly batteries), will be the basis of a family of products that the aggregated agent (and other companies that reach commercialisation agreements with the University of Seville) will commercialise in the international market. As a differentiating element with respect to other products, AI4HomeEnergy proposes to:
1. To design a reference HEMS architecture that allows the integration of COTS elements from third party sources.
2. To apply artificial intelligence techniques that implement flexible energy management algorithms, integrated in the demand integration policies of electricity companies (based on self-learning neuro-borroscopic networks).
3. Demonstrate the possibilities of the developed system in the Use Cases proposed by the aggregated proposed by the aggregated agent (as corresponds to a TRL7 level).
The final objective goes beyond the proposed HEMS, since this will be the enabling element of a future energy services platform in which: 1) data from consumers adhering to the service are integrated into an experience database (Big -Data), 2) the decision-making algorithms (neuro-fuzzy inference rules) are updated and improved based on the evolution of the market and the experience extracted from the experience database (cloud computing), and 3) open the door to a centralized management of a broad base of consumers tending to the creation of an energy services company (ESC).
The project has given rise to a complete solution made up of monitoring devices, integrated with the energy capture system and batteries, as well as with the local concentrator that governs them and stores energy consumption plans. All this information is sent to the massive data processing server (Big Data) that hosts the energy forecasting algorithms and artificial intelligence to detect consumption patterns and propose schemes for the use of available energy resources, with the aim of minimizing economic spending.
Finally, all this information is displayed and managed from the responsive web panel available to both the user and the administrator, which offers secure access based on SSL communications and parameterized permission roles.
