Optimal Scheduling of Domestic Appliances via MILP

Optimal Scheduling of Domestic Appliances via MILP

This paper analyzes a consumption scheduling mechanism for domestic appliances within a home area network. The aim of the proposed scheduling is to minimize the total energy price paid by the consumer and to reduce power peaks in order to achieve a balanced daily load schedule. An exact and computat...
