FEMAN : Fuzzy-Based Energy Management System for Green Houses Using Hybrid Grid Solar Power

Abstract EN

The United Nations has designated the year 2012 as the international year of sustainable energy.

Today, we are seeing a rise in global awareness of energy consumption and environmental problems.

Many nations have launched different programs to reduce the energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings to seek lower-carbon energy solutions.

We are talking about the future green and smart houses.

The subject of smart/green houses is not one of “why,” but rather “how,” specifically: “how making the future house more energy efficient.” The use of the renewable energy, the technology and the services could help us to answer this question.

Intelligent home energy management is an approach to build centralized systems that deliver application functionality as services to end-consumer applications.

The objective of this work is to develop a smart and robust controller for house energy consumption with maximizing the use of solar energy and reducing the impact on the power grid while satisfying the energy demand of house appliances.

We proposed a fuzzy-based energy management controller in order to reduce the consumed energy of the building while respecting a fixed comfort.
