Optimal Energy Management for Residential with Renewable Energy Integration

The exponential surge of residential renewable energy integration presents a burgeoning challenge: balancing real-time energy optimization with the delicate interplay between economic viability and environmental responsibility. This paper confronts this critical frontier by proposing a novel Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP)-based Energy Management System (EMS) algorithm, meticulously designed to optimize cost-efficient energy consumption within residential buildings. Our groundbreaking algorithm seamlessly integrates battery storage for enhanced operational flexibility and effortlessly connects to existing grid infrastructure through established protocols. Comprehensive case studies, crafted using historical data from a representative sample of residential dwellings, serve as robust testing grounds for our approach. Compared to traditional methods, our algorithm delivers a demonstrably superior performance, facilitating substantial energy cost reductions. This paves the way for a future of affordable and environmentally conscious energy solutions in residential communities. The system’s seamless integration positions it as a key driver for sustainable energy policies within the residential sector, potentially fostering peak demand reduction and enhancing grid stability. Our novel MILP-based EMS algorithm illuminates a path toward a cleaner, decentralized, and cost-effective future powered by residential renewables. By optimizing energy consumption, facilitating substantial cost savings, and effortlessly integrating with existing infrastructure, it provides a critical foundation for sustainable energy policies and paves the way for a future where clean energy thrives within the very heart of our communities.
