A home energy management system (HEMS) was designed in this paper for a smart home that uses integrated energy resources such as power from the grid, solar power generated from photovoltaic (PV) panels, and power from an energy storage system (ESS). A fuzzy controller is proposed for the HEMS to optimally manage the integrated power of the smart home. The fuzzy controller is designed to control the power rectifier for regulating the AC power in response to the variations in the residential electric load, solar power from PV panels, power of the ESS, and the real-time electricity prices. A self-learning scheme is designed for the proposed fuzzy controller to adapt with short-term and seasonal climatic changes and residential load variations. A parsimonious parameterization scheme for both the antecedent and consequent parts of the fuzzy rule base is utilized so that the self-learning scheme of the fuzzy controller is computationally efficient.
