With the further development of the world economy and society, the demand for electricity is
rising significantly. To account for this growing electricity demand, smart grid technology
development has ensued. Furthermore, Energy Management Systems (EMSs), especially
Home Energy Management System (HEMS) are critical for a smart grid to function
effectively. Understanding the energy demand of the loads and the available energy, either
from the national grid or from renewable energy technologies, is fundamental to a HEMS …

The demand for electricity has been rising significantly over the past years and it is expected
to rise further in the coming years due to economic and societal development. Smart grid
technology is being developed in order to meet the rising electricity requirement. In order for
the smart grid to perform its full functions, the Energy Management Systems (EMSs),
especially Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) are essential. It is necessary to
understand the energy demand of the loads and the energy supply either from the national …
