HOMER: Home Optimization Management of Energy Resources
Homes around the world are slowly adopting green energy resources including wind and solar generation. And while these resources are providing a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option for powering the home, they aren't always the most efficient methods.
Project Objectives
- Predict what local grid energy costs will be.
- Use previous consumption data to anticipate future home energy consumption.
- Optimize individual solar, battery, and grid energy use.
The goal of this project is to provide a proof-of-concept model using reinforcement learning that minimizes energy costs for the consumer.
