Abstract(s)

Home management systems are evolving to enable a more adaptive model to the many consumer’s behaviors, such as, periods of more consumption, habits of appliance use, amongst others. In another perspective, there are processes that require a start-after and sequential operation of multiple appliances, which currently is not a feature that exists in many of the home management systems. The present paper proposes a model to formulate sequential appliances load shifting, such that, the respective processes that the consumer has are maintained implemented correctly. The case study considers multiple appliances that exist in a home, with a sampling of 15 minutes, which is important in order to better observe the appliances consumption cycles.
