Assessing the Performance of a Multi-Objective NILM-assisted Home Energy Management System
Recent advancements in home energy management systems (HEMS) have focused on integrating end-user habits into day-ahead appliance scheduling. In this paper, a multi-objective HEMS assisted by a non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) module is examined. The multi-objective HEMS aims to optimize total energy cost, reduce environmental footprint, and alleviate grid stress while ensuring end-user comfort and respecting individual habits. The scope of the paper is to evaluate the robustness and generalization capabilities of the NILM-assisted HEMS across varying conditions. Τhe impact of each objective on the overall system performance is investigated with a particular focus on the role of personalized disaggregation in empowering homeowners to participate in energy-saving initiatives actively.
