With the prevalence of building automation and Internet-of-Things technologies, home energy management has become an active area in recent years. This paper proposes an integrated, multi-objective Home Energy Management System (HEMS), which optimally schedules controllable electric household appliances to balance three objectives: 1) home energy cost; 2) the occupant’s use satisfaction of controllable appliances; and 3) the occupant’s thermal comfort. In particular, the HEMS models the coupling operational relationship between the non-thermostatically controlled appliances and the air conditioner by investigating the impact of heat gains released by the appliances on the indoor temperature. An advanced multi-objective optimizer is applied to solve the home energy management model. Simulations are conducted to validate the proposed method.

近年来，随着楼宇自动化和物联网技术的普及，家庭能源管理成为一个活跃的领域。本文提出了一种集成的、多目标的家庭能源管理系统 (HEMS)，它可以优化调度可控的家用电器以平衡三个目标：1）家庭能源成本；2) 居住者对可控电器的使用满意度；3) 居住者的热舒适度。特别是，HEMS 通过研究设备释放的热量对室内温度的影响，对非恒温控制设备与空调之间的耦合运行关系进行建模。应用先进的多目标优化器来解决家庭能源管理模型。进行仿真以验证所提出的方法。
