Objetives, Activities and Expected Results

The project aims to improve the performance of home energy management systems through a better use of information, the use of adequate control strategies and improved non-intrusive load monitoring algorithms.

It is divided in 6 activities:

  • Implementation of data acquisition systems
  • Non-intrusive load monitoring
  • Forecasting
  • Home energy management systems
  • Tuning and Testing
  • Project management

A pilot installation will be used, with a photovoltaic system, a storage system, air conditioning (AC) and additional electrical appliances whose operation can be scheduled.
