| contents | This paper investigates smart home energy management in consideration of tradeoffs between residential privacy and energy costs. A multiobjective approach that minimizes energy costs and maximizes privacy protection is proposed. The approach leads to a multiobjective optimization problem in which the two objectives are addressed in separate dimensions. A hybrid algorithm that employs a stochastic search for power scheduling of home appliances and uses deterministic battery control is developed accordingly. The proposed approach can avoid some drawbacks faced by conventional weighted-sum methods for multiobjective optimization: the combination of objectives in different units, heuristic assignment of weighting coefficients, and possible misrepresentation of user preference. In contrast with existing studies on residential user privacy that assume limited controllability of appliances to facilitate algorithm development, this approach addresses the use of flexible appliances in smart homes. Simulations reveal that the proposed approach can maintain a reasonable energy cost while robustly preserving user privacy at a sensible level; its convergence rate is comparable to existing multiobjective evolutionary algorithms while the proposed approach yields a better level of convergence; the proposed approach is scalable to a group of smart houses, achieving a superior peak-to-average ratio that is beneficial to the stability of the underlying power grid. |
