Home Energy Management Systems: Operation and Resilience of Heuristics Against Cyberattacks

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced communication technologies have demonstrated great potential to manage residential energy resources by enabling demand-side management (DSM). Home energy management systems (HEMSs) can automatically control electricity production and usage inside homes using DSM techniques. These HEMSs wirelessly collect information from hardware installed in the power system and homes with the objective of intelligently and efficiently optimizing electricity usage and minimizing costs.
